It should be easy, and it is – but no single-command installation:
administrator@lx-ubuntu:$ sudo apt-get install ansible Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ansible
Look at the Ubuntu Packet-Search for Ansible:
- it’s in the „universe“-repository
Add the „universe“-repository:
administrator@lx-ubuntu:$ sudo add-apt-repository universe 'universe' distribution component enabled for all sources.
