..note:: We’ve changed how the Ansible community packages are distributed.
For users of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux version 7, the Ansible community RPM
package will transition from the EPEL repository to the Extras channel. There will be no
change for version 6 of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux since Extras is not a part of version 6.
Ansible itself can manage earlier operating
systems that contain Python 2.6 or higher (so also EL6).
RPMs for RHEL7 are available from `the Extras channel <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/912213>`_.
Fedora users can install Ansible directly, though if you are using RHEL or CentOS and have not already done so, `configure EPEL <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>`_
RPMs for RHEL6 are available from yum for `EPEL
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>`_ 6 and currently supported
