+## Installation
+
+- Install [Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#installing-and-upgrading-ansible-with-pip)
+
+- Add location of the directory containing the ansible binary to your `PATH`
+
+- Optional: Set Locale Encoding to UTF-8:
+
+  Ansible requires the locale encoding to be UTF-8. You can either set the system-wide locale or use the LANG prefix when running Ansible commands.
+
+  - Option 1: Set System-Wide Locale
+
+    - Edit the /etc/default/locale file:
+
+      ```bash
+      sudo nano /etc/default/locale
+      ```
+
+    - Set the `LANG` variable to en_IN.UTF-8:
+
+      ```Copy code
+      LANG="en_IN.UTF-8"
+      ```
+
+    - Reboot your system or log out and log back in to apply the changes.

+    - Reference: <https://udhayakumarc.medium.com/error-ansible-requires-the-locale-encoding-to-be-utf-8-detected-iso8859-1-6da808387f7d>
+
+  - Option 2: Use `LANG` Prefix in Commands
+
+    If you prefer not to change the system-wide locale, you can skip the above step and use the `LANG` prefix when running Ansible commands:
+
+    ```bash
+    LANG=en_IN.UTF-8 ansible-playbook your_playbook.yml
+    ```
