Ansible 2.0 -- the "new" correct way to update??

[Slim Slam]

As you may recall, I had to uninstall Ansible 1.9.4 in order to install Ansible 2.0.0.0. But now, upgrading to Ansible 2.0.0.2 succeeds but has no effect.

I'm on MacOSX El Capitan (10.11.2)

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.0.0.0
  config file =
  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
$

$ sudo -H pip install --upgrade ansible --user python

$

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.0.0.0

$

What is the correct way to handle updates going forward?

The problem is with a new 'protection' in OS X 'el capitan' which
breaks the pip update, this is not restricted to Ansible but to any
pip package you install with sudo.

Ok, so going forward, it appears that I need to uninstall the old version, and then install the new version.

There is no need to use sudo with --user. You should pick one or the other.

sudo will install as root into /usr/local/bin, whereas --user installed into your home directory under .local/

I ended up going down the virtualenv path for this. Covers OSX as well as Linux. I went this path in order to have the ability to switch back and forth between versions in order to test functionality between 1.9.x and 2.0

It seems to me that the issue revolves around upgrading setuptools. I'm totally okay with uninstalling and reinstalling Ansible but I am curious about "better" ways of upgrading if people would like to share them.

I echo Chris's post. The docs say for yum the command is sudo yum install ansible. But that still only gets you 1.9.4. When will Ansible update YUM with 2.0?????

Thank you Slim....the info in your post worked. I now have 2.0. :-}

I switched over to Homebrew to install current release of Ansible (after removing the prior release with pip).

Glenn, the new 2.0 rpm packages are in the epel-test channel and will stay there for a while. That's kind of a policy with the epel project.

If they would push the package to the main epel repository it would break all those setups that are not ready yet for the update.
