<h3>Running From Checkout<a class="headerlink" href="#running-from-checkout" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Ansible is trivially easy to run from a checkout, root permissions are not required
to use it:</p>

$ cd ./ansible
$ source ./hacking/env-setup
$ cat "127.0.0.1" &gt; ~/ansible_hosts
$ export ANSIBLE_HOSTS=~/ansible_hosts
$ ansible all -m ping</pre>
</div>
<p>The <cite>env-setup</cite> script modifies your <cite>PATH</cite>, <cite>PYTHONPATH</cite>, and <cite>ANSIBLE_LIBRARY</cite> environment variables
so you can use Ansible from the checkout directory. You have full access to everything
Ansible can do this way, with no limitations. If you do not set ANSIBLE_HOSTS, the default host
file /etc/ansible/hosts will be used.</p>
