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](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html).

Let us know how that goes.

Dick

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
