Installing Ansible on specific operating systems
================================================
.. note:: These instructions are provided by their respective communities. Any bugs/issues should be filed with that community to update these instructions. Ansible maintains only the ``pip install`` instructions.
The ``ansible`` package can always be :ref:`installed from PyPI using pip <intro_installation_guide>` on most systems but it is also packaged and maintained by the community for a variety of Linux distributions.
The following instructions will guide you through installing the ``ansible`` package with your preferred distribution's package manager.
.. note:: For maintainers who wish to add distributions to this guide, installation instructions are included here only for distributions with a reasonably up-to-date version of ``ansible``. The distribution MUST ensure that ``ansible-core`` and ``ansible`` versions are kept in sync to the extent that the distribution build system allows. Maintainers MUST include a way to contact them with their instructions here and are encouraged to join the `Ansible Packaging <https://matrix.to/#/#packaging:ansible.com>`_ Matrix room.

Installing Ansible on Fedora Linux
-------------------------------------------------
To install the batteries included ``ansible`` package on Fedora run
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo dnf install ansible
If you prefer to install the minimal ``ansible-core`` package run
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo dnf install ansible-core
Several Ansible collections are also available from the Fedora repositories as
standalone packages that users can install alongside ``ansible-core``.
For example, to install the ``community.general`` collection run
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo dnf install ansible-collection-community-general
See the `Fedora Packages index <https://packages.fedoraproject.org/search?query=ansible-collection>`_
for a full list of Ansible collections packaged in Fedora.
Please `file a bug <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi>`_ against the
``Fedora`` product in Red Hat Bugzilla to reach the package maintainers.
Installing Ansible from EPEL
----------------------------------
Users of CentOS Stream, Almalinux, Rocky Linux, and related distributions
can install ``ansible`` or Ansible collections from the community maintained
`EPEL <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/>`_
(Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository.
After `enabling the EPEL repository <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_quickstart>`_,
users can use the same ``dnf`` commands as for Fedora Linux.
Please `file a bug <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi>`_ against the
``Fedora EPEL`` product in Red Hat Bugzilla to reach the package maintainers.
Installing Ansible on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed/Leap
----------------------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo zypper install ansible
See `OpenSUSE Support Portal <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support>` for additional help with Ansible on OpenSUSE.

Installing Ansible on Ubuntu
----------------------------
Ubuntu builds are available `in a PPA here <https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ubuntu/ansible>`_.
To configure the PPA on your system and install Ansible run these commands:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
$ sudo apt install ansible
.. note:: On older Ubuntu distributions, "software-properties-common" is called "python-software-properties". You may want to use ``apt-get`` rather than ``apt`` in older versions. Also, be aware that only newer distributions (that is, 18.04, 18.10, and later) have a ``-u`` or ``--update`` flag. Adjust your script as needed.
Installing Ansible on Debian
----------------------------
Debian users can use the same source as the Ubuntu PPA (using the following table).
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - Debian
-
- Ubuntu
* - Debian 11 (Bullseye)
- ->
- Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal)
* - Debian 10 (Buster)
- ->
- Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)
.. note::
Ansible releases are only built for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) or later releases.
Add the following line to ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` or ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ansible.list``:
.. code-block:: bash
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu MATCHING_UBUNTU_CODENAME_HERE main
Example for Debian 11 (Bullseye)
.. code-block:: bash
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu focal main
Then run these commands:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 93C4A3FD7BB9C367
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ansible
