How can install specific version of ansible?

Question

How can I install a specific version of Ansible, using Yum or another method?

When I try to install version 2.0 it says No package 2.0 available.

I checked the epel repo. There are only two rpms, but no rpm containing version 2.0. Why are they removed? Is there any way to install a specific version of ansible, like 2.0?

Answer 1

I would recommend pip:

sudo pip install 'ansible==2.0.0.1' 

More information on ansible[1] and pip[2] documentation.

And if you want to have more than one installed version, just use create virtualenv:

virtualenv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install 'ansible==2.2.0.0'

and only this terminal will use this specific version of Ansible. Then repeat the process for each combination you want.
