These instructions will guide you though installing the ansible-rulebook CLI on your local system. Please ensure you have installed all components listed in the Requirements section before starting the installation process.
- Python >= 3.8
- Python 3 pip
- Java development kit >= 17
- Fedora: java-17-openjdk
- Ubuntu: openjdk-17-jdk
1. Ensure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set if you have multiple Java installations. On Fedora-like systems it should be:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk
Install ansible-rulebook and dependencies via pip:
pip install ansible-rulebook ansible ansible-runner
Note
ansible-rulebook relies on the jpy Python package to communicate with the Java runtime. This package provide wheels for the most common platforms, but not for all. If you are using a platform that is not supported by jpy wheels, you will need to compile it by yourself. Look at the Compiling jpy section for more information.
- Install the optional ansible collection for EDA
On Fedora-like systems:
dnf --assumeyes install java-17-openjdk python3-pip
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk
pip3 install ansible ansible-rulebook ansible-runner
On Ubuntu systems:
apt-get --assume-yes install openjdk-17-jdk python3-pip
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
pip3 install ansible ansible-rulebook ansible-runner
To compile jpy from source at installation time, you will need to install the additional dependencies:
- maven
- gcc
- python-devel package
- Fedora: python3-devel
- Ubuntu: python3-dev
- Environment variable JAVA_HOME set to the path of your Java installation
Then, you can run:
pip install ansible-rulebook --no-binary jpy
Refer to the jpy project for more information.
