Dynamic inventories are not currently installed when installing ansible. They are part of a contrib directory and need to be downloaded from github or manually extracted from the release tar.gz

You can find those files in github at:

If installing git you always get them, when using a .deb or .rpm you might get them (depending on packager). Installing with pip will not provide them.
