Ansible Installation

• Install Ansible

• Add location of the directory containing the ansible binary to your PATH

• Set Locale Encoding to UTF-8

  Ansible requires the locale encoding to be UTF-8. You can either use the LANG prefix when running Ansible commands or set the system-wide locale

  • Option 1: Use LANG Prefix in Commands

    If you prefer not to change the system-wide locale, you can use the LANG prefix when running Ansible commands:

    LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ansible-playbook your_playbook.yml
    

  • Option 2: Set System-Wide Locale

    • Edit the /etc/default/locale file:

      sudo nano /etc/default/locale
      

    • Set the LANG variable to en_US.UTF-8:

      LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
      

    • Reboot your system or log out and log back in to apply the changes
