By default, Ansible uses Python 2 in order to maintain compatibility with older distributions
such as RHEL 6. However, some Linux distributions (Gentoo, Arch) may not have a

RPMs for RHEL 7 are available from the `Ansible Engine repository <https://access.redhat.com/articles/3174981>`_.
RPMs for RHEL7 are available from `the Extras channel <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/912213>`_.
To enable the Ansible Engine repository, run the following command:
