Installing and Running Ansible

Welcome to this, our first chapter in the second edition of Learn Ansible. In this chapter, we will look at a few topics to introduce you to Ansible; these topics will familiarize you with the basics of what Ansible is and give you a few different use cases.

By the end of the chapter, you will have gotten hands-on with Ansible and covered the following:

  • Who is behind Ansible?
  • The differences between Ansible and other tools
  • The problem Ansible solves
  • How to install Ansible on macOS and Linux
  • Running Ansible on Windows 11 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux
  • Launching a test virtual machine
  • An introduction to playbooks

Before we start talking about Ansible, let’s quickly discuss my background, how I came to be writing a book about Ansible, and what you will need to install and run Ansible on your system.
