Installation

• Install Ansible

• 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:

      sudo nano /etc/default/locale
      

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

      LANG="en_IN.UTF-8"
      

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

  • 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:

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