Brew list ansible Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/ansible. I’m not really sure what happened. I’ve got the Ansible scripts in my path, but I don’t have the python modules. I prefer to install Ansible via pip so I simply pip install ansible and everything was right with the world. An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon.

You can install Ansible quickly in your system with Homebrew( or PIP(Package manager for Python)

Install Ansible with Homebrew

If you are using macOS, then you can use Homebrew.

First, ensure that you have Homebrew installed in your system. Homebrew is a package manager for Mac OS. So if you want to learn more details about it, visit my blog below.

Run the following commands in your terminal. But, just copy commands without $ sign.

Checking Ansible version

Install Ansible with PIP

Ensure that you have Python and PIP in your system. Check the following page about Python installation.

This quickstart shows how to install Ansible using the Azure CLI.

In this quickstart, you'll complete these tasks:

• Create an SSH key pair
• Create a resource group
• Create a CentOS virtual machine
• Install Ansible on the virtual machine
• Connect to the virtual machine via SSH
• Configure Ansible on the virtual machine

Prerequisites

• Azure subscription: If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.

• Azure service principal: Create a service principal, making note of the following values: appId, displayName, password, and tenant.

• Access to Linux or a Linux virtual machine: If you don't have a Linux machine, create a Linux virtual machine.

Create an SSH key pair

When connecting to Linux VMs, you can use password authentication or key-based authentication. Key-based authentication is more secure than using passwords. As such, this article uses key-based authentication.

With key-based authentication, there are two keys:

• Public key: The public key is stored on the host - such as on your VM (as in this article)
• Private key: The private key enables you to securely connect to your host. The private key is effectively your password and should be protected as such.

The following steps walk you through creating an SSH key pair.

Brew Ansible Command Not Found

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

2. Open Azure Cloud Shell and - if not done already - switch to Bash.

3. Create an SSH key using ssh-keygen.

NOTE:

• The ssh-keygen command displays the location of the generated key files. You need this directory name when you create the virtual machine.
• The public key is stored in ansible_rsa.pub and the private key is stored in ansible_rsa.

Brew Ansible Pro

Create a virtual machine

1. Create a resource group using az group create. You might need to replace the --location parameter with the appropriate value for your environment.

2. Create a virtual machine using az vm create. Replace the placeholder with the fully qualified name of your SSH public key filename.

3. Verify the creation (and state) of the new virtual machine using az vm list.

NOTE:

• The output from the az vm list command includes the public IP address used to connect via SSH to the virtual machine.

Connect to your virtual machine via SSH

Using the SSH command, connect to your virtual machine's public IP address.

Replace the placeholders with the appropriate values returned in pervious commands.

Brew Ansible Tutorial

Install Ansible on the virtual machine

Run the following commands to configure Ansible on Centos:

Create Azure credentials

To configure the Ansible credentials, you need the following information:

• Your Azure subscription ID and tenant ID
• The service principal applicationID, and secret

Configure the Ansible credentials using one of the following techniques:

Option 1: Create Ansible credentials file

In this section, you create a local credentials file to provide credentials to Ansible. For security reasons, credential files should only be used in development environments.

For more information about defining Ansible credentials, see Providing Credentials to Azure Modules.

1. Once you've successfully connected to the host virtual machine, create and open a file named credentials:

2. Insert the following lines into the file. Replace the placeholders with the service principal values.

3. Save and close the file.

Option 2: Define Ansible environment variables

On the host virtual machine, export the service principal values to configure your Ansible credentials.

Test Ansible installation

You now have a virtual machine with Ansible installed and configured!

This section shows how to create a test resource group within your new Ansible configuration. If you don't need to do that, you can skip this section.

Create an Azure resource group

1. Save the following code as create_rg.yml. Pgp for mac.

2. Run the playbook using ansible-playbook. Replace the placeholders with the name and location of the resource group to be created.

   Notes:

   • Due to the register variable and debug section of the playbook, the results display when the command finishes.

Delete an Azure resource group

1. Save the following code as delete_rg.yml.

2. Run the playbook using the ansible-playbook command. Replace the placeholder with the name of the resource group to be deleted. All resources within the resource group will be deleted.

   Notes:

   • Due to the register variable and debug section of the playbook, the results display when the command finishes.

Brew Ansible

1. Run az group delete to delete the resource group. All resources within the resource group will be deleted.

2. Verify that the resource group was deleted by using az group show.

1. Run Remove-AzResourceGroup to delete the resource group. All resources within the resource group will be deleted.

2. Verify that the resource group was deleted by using Get-AzResourceGroup.
