I've installed ansible on my Mac using pip as advised by ansible's documentation:
However when I try to run ansible I get the following:zsh: command not found: ansible
I've never had this problem when installing ansible before.
pip-installing again tells me it's already installed under site packages:Requirement already satisfied: ansible in ./Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages (2.9.11)
And my python installation in ~/.zshrc points to:
# Add user python 3.7 to path
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH"Might be obvious to some but I can't figure out why this simple installation isn't working..

After installing ansible with python3 -m pip install --user ansible, I searched for the ansible binary and found it to be downloaded into ~/Library/Python/3.8/bin. The simplest way is to figure this out is:
$ cd ~
$ find . | grep ansible
<lines omitted>
./Library/Python/3.8/bin/ansible
<lines omitted>From there, its pretty easy, just update your .bash_profile or .zshrc with
export PATH="/path/to/Library/Python/3.8/bin:$PATH"And you should be good to go:
$ source ~/.zshrc
$ ansible --version
ansible 2.10.8 config file = None configured module search path = ['/Users/dbove/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']brew install ansiblebrew link ansible
Below commands worked for me:
Uninstall ansible
sudo pip uninstall ansible
Then install by using (Note: -H flag is important here which sets HOME variable to target user's home dir)
sudo -H pip3 install ansible
Check the version by using
0ansible --version
Uninstall ansible sudo pip uninstall ansible.
Then install by using pip3 sudo pip3 install ansible.
Check the version by using ansible --version.
Note: Make sure you have pip3 installed, In case you don't have then install by usingansible 2.10.3
