How to get / install ansible using Cygwin?
I tried the following steps, but this did not work during bullet 5 (when 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 packages during the installation 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, since they are not available through the Cygwin 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=/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
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 I received during bullet 5:
