Should I install Ansible with python pip or homebrew on Mac OSX Mavericks? [closed]
I've never had any trouble with Homebrew. In my opinion, it's the best package manager type tool for Mac OS X out there right now (but perhaps not as complete as MacPorts.)
Here's a useful guide for installing Homebrew on Mac OS X Mavericks.
Then simply run
brew install ansible
I think you will find it best to install it via pip
from the documentation;
Latest Releases Via Pip
Ansible can be installed via “pip”, the Python package manager. If ‘pip’ isn’t already available in your version of Python, you can get pip by:
$ sudo easy_install pip
Then install Ansible with:
$ sudo pip install ansible
Readers that use virtualenv can also install Ansible under virtualenv, though we’d recommend to not worry about it and just install Ansible globally. Do not use easy_install to install ansible directly.
This will allow you to update easily, as it gets the latest version well before brew does.
