You need to be more specific. Ansible is a program that manages other systems via SSH. Are you (1) using an AIX system to run Ansible *from*, or (2) do you want to use Ansible to manage AIX hosts? If the answer is (2), then you don't need to install Ansible itself on the AIX hosts. You need to install Ansible on the system that will connect to those hosts, and the target hosts only need Python and SSH. And if the answer is (1), you're trying to install Ansible on an AIX system itself... why? --g > On Mar 27, 2017 8:32 PM, "Dick Visser" <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On 27 March 2017 at 14:02, Mona Gopal <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Hey Jon, >> > >> > The link doesn't give an explanation on setting up Ansible.
