Ansible is available via the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) or the official Red Hat repositories.

For RHEL systems, install the EPEL repository:

sudo dnf install epel-release

Once the repository is enabled, install Ansible using the package manager:

sudo dnf install ansible

After installation, verify Ansible is installed correctly:

ansible --version

You should see output similar to:

ansible [core 2.x.x]
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  python version = 3.x.x

If epel-release is not found, try enabling the codeready-builder repo or check for typos.
