Requirements for Ansible are extremely minimal.
If you are running python 2.6 or later on the **overlord** machine (the machine
that you'll be talking to the remote machines from), you will need:
Ansible is written for Python 2.6. If you are running Python 2.5 on an "Enterprise Linux" variant,
your distribution can easily install 2.6 (see instructions in the next section). Newer versions
of Linux and OS X should already have 2.6.
In additon to Python 2.6, you will want the following packages:
* ``paramiko``
* ``PyYAML``
* ``python-jinja2`` (for playbooks)
* ``python-jinja2``
If you are only running Python 2.5, you will also need:
On the managed nodes, you only need Python 2.4 or later, but if you are are running less than Python 2.6 on them, you will
also need:
* The Python 2.5 backport of the ``multiprocessing`` module (`see here <http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/wiki/Install>`_)
* ``python-simplejson``
* ``python-simplejson``
If you have any managed-nodes with python older than 2.6, you will also need:
NOTE: Ansible 0.4 will have ways to remote bootstrap this, using Ansible itself. Stay tuned.
* ``python-simplejson``

On the managed nodes, to use templates, you will also need:
These distributions don't have Python 2.6 by default, but it is easily installable.
* ``python-jinja2`` (you can easily install this using ansible, and this will not be required in version 0.3 as templates will be evaluated locally)
* If you have not already done so, `configure EPEL <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>`_
* yum install python26 python26-PyYAML python26-paramiko python26-jinja2
