You're using a development branch.
Please try a stable version.
Also, if you're unfamiliar with new software, use the official documentation.
Especially if you are in a restricted environment.

So in this case
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html.

Let us know how that goes.

Thanks Dick for your patient reply

Can you please advise what would be the equivalent for
“source ./hacking/env-setup”
in 2.3.1

requesting since on 2.3.1 we see only the below files

hacking]$ du -a
20 ./module_formatter.py
4 ./dump_playbook_attributes.py
8 ./templates/rst.j2
4 ./templates/playbooks_directives.rst.j2
16 ./templates
44 .

Sorry for going ‘way back to 2.3.1’ but that is the current version we are using

Thank you

Cyril
