I exported these from my old wordpress blog, so they are a bit out of date, but I thought I’d keep them around for posterity.

mirzawaqasahmed - Hi Chris, Thanks for sharing this. However when i am running ansible-playbook it first gave me following error…

Ansible tutorial - part 1 - intro to Ansible - If you are using Windows, it’s a bit more hassle, unless you already have the Windows with Bash terminal! If you do, simply use APT for installing Ansible. However if you don’t have it yet, you need to install more things. On our Windows machines we use Babun (much better version of Cygwin, if you didn’t hear about it, check it out right now!). To install Ansible with Babun, please use this tutorial. […]

[mcfo] - Thanks! Regarding right-click pasting into vim: Add the line set mouse-=a to your ~/.vimrc and it should work.

[Zoran] - I see the issue below: jinja2 is installed but seems to be unknown to ansible. Any suggestions? Thanks.

pact install python-jinja2`
Working directory is /setup 
Mirror is http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/ 
setup.ini taken from the cache Package python-jinja2 is already installed, skipping { ~ } 
» ansible ~ `Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/ansible/bin/ansible", line 36, in from ansible.runner import Runner File "/opt/ansible/lib/ansible/runner/\_\_init\_\_.py", line 32, in import jinja2 ImportError: No module named jinja2

[mcfo] - There were more problems, but I fixed them using this thread: https://github.com/babun/babun/issues/315

Kyp - Hello I had some issue with babun and bash. i uncomment this part of the env-setup , and change elif into if When run using source as directed, $0 gets set to bash, so we must use $BASH_SOURCE if [ -n "$BASH_SOURCE" ] ; then echo bash HACKING_DIR=$(dirname "$BASH_SOURCE") if [ $(basename -- "$0") == "env-setup" ]; then echo basename HACKING_DIR=$(dirname "$0")
