Installing Ansible for CentOS 6 using the EPEL repository

I’m going to install ansible from Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL)

On CentOS, you need to install the repository file that it is included in the extras repository

root@linux:~ # yum list epel-release
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.xpg.com.br
* extras: centos.xpg.com.br
* updates: mirror.ufscar.br
Available Packages
epel-release.noarch 6-8 extras

Install the package epel-release

root@linux:~ # yum install -y epel-release
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security

* base: centos.xpg.com.br
