Ansible Debian Package

To create an Ansible DEB package:

sudo apt-get install python-paramiko python-yaml python-jinja2 python-httplib2 python-setuptools python-six sshpass
sudo apt-get install cdbs debhelper dpkg-dev git-core reprepro dh-python fakeroot asciidoc devscripts docbook-xml xsltproc libxml2-utils
git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
cd ansible
make deb

The debian package file will be placed in the ../ directory. This can then be added to an APT repository or installed with dpkg -i <package-file>.

Note that dpkg -i does not resolve dependencies.

To install the Ansible DEB package and resolve dependencies:

sudo dpkg -i <package-file>
sudo apt-get -fy install

Or, if you are running Debian Stretch (or later) or Ubuntu Xenial (or later):

sudo apt install <package-file>
