If its name changes or you misspell it, the alias will not give you an error message. To install a package using this alias you must know its name beforehand. The alias in Step 11 is a CLI version of what you saw in Step 8. Note that your Cygwin home directory resides inside of the installation directory specified in Step 4. (Note that if you want to install a specific version, e.g 2.2, append =2.2 to the end of the command.)Īll done! You’re now ready to start using Ansible. Set up an alias which points to the “setup-x86_64.exe” file you downloaded in Step 1, like so: Double click on the “Cygwin64 Terminal” icon.This will install everything you need to get Cygwin up and running. When asking if you want to install dependencies, leave everything as their defaults and click “Next”.Doing so will result in the default applications being installed.

The Ansible documentation provides information on how to do it using Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta), I’ve run into issues trying to get WSL up and running so instead opted for Cygwin.įor those who are unfamiliar with Cygwin, it is “a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.” Step by Step Guide While Ansible is not supported on Windows, it is very easy to get it up and running. Resolving 409 Access Denied in Azure Kudu and App.Create New Linux Admin User in Azure Ubuntu VM.Install Ansible to Use Python3 on Azure Ubuntu 18.If you have removed password using sudo passwd -d -l for the ansible user as explained in article “ Create New Linux Admin User in Azure Ubuntu VM”, set the password again for the user using sudo passwd command by ssh to the VM with default user. Setting up user for ansible in the VM was explained in previous post “ Create New Linux Admin User in Azure Ubuntu VM”.įirst ensure your user has a password setup for sudo commands as the password will be prompted for when executing command with sudo in the Azure Ubuntu VM for the non-default user. Let’s learn some Linux IaC with ansible in the coming posts and in this post, lets try to setup an ansible installation on a Ubuntu 18.04 VM with python3 support, in Azure. Especially in Linux based implementations ansible is used heavily, however, it can support automation on Windows platform as well. Ansible is an open-source configuration and infrastructure management tool providing capability to implement infrastructure as code (IaC).
