Install Ansible Windows Machine

Question

I have tried installing ansible through pip install ansible but whenever i get the following error trying to use it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code
  File "C:\Users\ruan.greyling\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts\ansible.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\ruan.greyling\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\ansible\cli\__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
    check_blocking_io()
  File "C:\Users\ruan.greyling\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\ansible\cli\__init__.py", line 34, in check_blocking_io
    if not os.get_blocking(fd):
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'get_blocking'

I have python and pip installed on the machine.

Answer 1

This is why you are getting this error.

• Windows without WSL is not natively supported as a control node (more in the documentation)
• If you want to run the Control node on Windows use WSL

Good practice code repository and sync to your Linux Control node from Windows machine.
