Today, I’m installing Ansible on my Mac…
For Mac, you need to install pip, which is done by following the instructions provided by Ansible, which didn’t work for me, so I found an easier command:
$ sudo easy_install pipWith that command, I was able to make it to the next phase… which didn’t work. At this point, I was very frustrated! After deciding to read all of the instructions on Ansible, I found a paragraph regarding MacOS 10.9 . Well, I was running 10.14. It obviously inherited its bitchiness from 10.9. So, I ran the command:
$ CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments pip install --user ansibleAll problems were solved. At this point, I’m considering a degree in Linux based systems so that I can actually understand this shit. But no, I’m going to continue my path toward the #CCIE and #CCAr!
