How to get / install ansible using Cygwin?
I tried the following steps but it's didn't work during bullet 5 (while running "python setup.py install"). Steps taken from: Taken from https://servercheck.in/blog/running-ansible-within-windows
1) Download and install Cygwin, with at least the following packages selected (you can select the packages during the install process):
libyaml
libyaml-devel
curl
python (2.7.x)
python-crypto
python-openssl
python-paramiko
python-setuptools
git (2.1.x)
vim
openssh
openssl
openssl-devel
2) Download and install PyYAML and Jinja2, as they're not available via Cygwin's installer:
1. Open Cygwin
2. Download PyYAML:
curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/PyYAML/PyYAML-3.10.tar.gz
3. Download Jinja2:
curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/J/Jinja2/Jinja2-2.6.tar.gz
4. Untar both downloads:
tar -xvf PyYAML-3.10.tar.gz && tar -xvf Jinja2-2.6.tar.gz
5. Change directory into each of the expanded folders and run python "python setup.py install" to install each package.
6. Clone ansible from its repository on GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible /opt/ansible
This was tested with Ansible version v1.6.6, change directory into /opt/ansible and checkout the correct tag: git checkout v1.6.6.
7. Add the following lines into your Cygwin .bash_profile:
# Ansible settings
ANSIBLE=/opt/ansible
export PATH=$PATH:$ANSIBLE/bin
export PYTHONPATH=$ANSIBLE/lib
export ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=$ANSIBLE/library
8. At this point, you should be able to run ansible commands via Cygwin (once you restart, or enter source ~/.bash_profile to pick up the settings you just added).
Try ansible --version to display Ansible's version.
9. Passwordless ssh will need to be set up between your Windows machine and the deployment host(s)
To enable passwordless ssh on Centos - ssh-copy-id root@node
To enable passwordless ssh on SuSE I followed the steps in this blog:
http://www.firedaemon.com/blog/passwordless-root-ssh-public-key-authentication-on-centos-6
install sshpass v1.05 on your Windows machine<br>
The error that I got during during bullet 5 is:
