Before raising any bugs related to installation, review all of + the following details: + + - You should use installation methods outlined in this document only. + - You should upgrade the Python installer (`pip` or `pipx`) to the latest + version available from pypi.org. If you used a system package manager, you + will need to upgrade the installer to a newer version. + - If you are installing from a git zip archive, which is not supported but + should work, ensure you use the main branch and the latest version of pip and + setuptools. + - If you are installing Ansible-lint within a container or system package, you + should not report the issue here. Contact the relevant container or package + provider instead. + - If you are using [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/), read this + [discussion](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/discussions/2820#discussioncomment-4400380). + + Pull requests to improve installation instructions are welcome. Any new issues + related to installation will be closed and locked. + +For a container image, we recommend using +[creator-ee](https://github.com/ansible/creator-ee/), which includes +Ansible-lint. If you have a use case that the `creator-ee` container doesn't +satisfy, please contact the team through the +[discussions](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/discussions) forum. + +You can also run Ansible-lint on your source code with the +[Ansible-lint GitHub action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ansible-lint) +instead of installing it directly. + +## Installing the latest version + +You can install the most recent version of Ansible-lint with the [pip3] or +[pipx] Python package manager. Use [pipx] to isolate Ansible-lint from your +current Python environment as an alternative to creating a virtual environment. + +```bash +# This also installs ansible-core if it is not already installed +pip3 install ansible-lint +``` + +## Installing on Fedora and RHEL + +You can install Ansible-lint on Fedora, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) with +the `dnf` package manager. + +```bash +dnf install ansible-lint +``` + +!!! note + + On RHEL, `ansible-lint` package is part of "Red Hat Ansible Automation + Platform" subscription, which needs to be activated. + +## Installing from source code + +**Note**: `pip>=22.3.1` is required for installation from the source repository. +Please consult the [PyPA User Guide] to learn more about managing Pip versions. + +```bash +pip3 install git+https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint +``` + +[installing_from_source]: https://pypi.org/project/pip/ +[pip3]: https://pypi.org/project/pip/ +[pipx]: https://pypa.github.io/pipx/ +[pypa user guide]: + https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/#ensure-pip-setuptools-and-wheel-are-up-to-date + +## Installing Ansible Lint as a GitHub Action + +To use the action simply create a file `.github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml` with +content similar to the example below: + +```yaml +# .github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml +name: ansible-lint +on: + pull_request: + branches: ["stable", "release/v*"] +jobs: + build: + name: Ansible Lint # Naming the build is important to use it as a status check + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + steps: + - name: Run ansible-lint + uses: ansible/ansible-lint@v6 +``` + +Due to limitations on how GitHub Actions are processing arguments, we do not +plan to provide extra options. You will have to make use of +[ansible-lint own configuration file](https://ansible-lint.readthedocs.io/configuring/) +for altering its behavior. + +To also enable [dependabot][dependabot] automatic updates the newer versions of +ansible-lint action you should create a file similar to +[.github/dependabot.yml][.github/dependabot.yml] + +[dependabot]: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot +[.github/dependabot.yml]: + https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml#L13-L19 -- cgit v1.2.3
