Installing Ansible on Ubuntu

Ubuntu provides Ansible packages through a Personal Package Archive (PPA) that contains more recent versions than the standard repositories.

Ubuntu builds are available in a PPA here.

Configure the PPA on your system and install Ansible:

$ 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, only newer distributions (18.04, 18.10, and later) have a -u or --update flag. Adjust your script as needed.
