Not possible to install ansible on CentOS7 ("no package ansible available")

Infrastructure as Code Ansible
#1

Hi,

I cannot install ansible (“No package ansible available”).

After writing “sudo yum install ansible” I am getting following response: “no package ansible available”.

I need help ASAP.

It’s from the course " [Ansible for the Absolute Beginner - Hands-On - DevOps]" - “Section 2: Lab - Setup VMs and Install Ansible” - “6. Demo - Part 2 - Setup Lab - Clone VMs and Install Ansible”.

Thanks!

Hello @wjkszpl
Ansible is part of the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository so you need to install epel-release package first

$ sudo yum install epel-release

The repo should now be visible in the repo list

$ sudo yum repolist

So now you can go ahead and install ansible

$ sudo yum install ansible
