I am using: sudo pip install git+https://github.com/ansible/ansible@devel pip install git+https://github.com/ansible/ansible@devel --user to install ansible. I have uninstalled any previous versions. I am using python 3.8. After installation is complete, I do not have the “ansible”, “ansible-playbook”, etc commands. In the past, pip installation would also provide me with those. As a workaround I am using ansible from a local git checkout and sourcing ansible/hacking/env-setup every time I start work. What could be wrong? ---

Hi, > I am using: > > sudo pip install git+[https://github.com/ansible/ansible@devel](https://github.com/ansible/ansible@devel) > > pip install git+[https://github.com/ansible/ansible@devel](https://github.com/ansible/ansible@devel) --user > > to install ansible. I have uninstalled any previous versions. I am > using python 3.8. have you installed previous versions \*before\* installing ansible-base from git? (The ansible/ansible repository no longer contains ansible, but ansible-base.) Cheers, Felix ---

In the past, yes I had, also from the devel branch using pip. At one point, I decided to update and re-installed ansible using pip from the devel branch. I got weird errors, searched, found out I had to remove previous version, I uninstalled everything and then re-installed the devel branch. ---

Can it be that ansible-lint breaks it? ---

Hi, > Can it be that ansible-lint breaks it? that's very likely, since it has a dependency on ansible, which right now means ansible 2.9. The situation will get better once Ansible 2.10.0 is released (i.e. later this month). Cheers, Felix ---

Will installing ansible-lint from its development branch help? ---

Hi, > Will installing ansible-lint from its development branch help? probably not, since it requires ansible \>= 2.8: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/blob/master/setup.cfg#L73](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/blob/master/setup.cfg#L73) If you install the other dependencies manually and install it without automatically installing dependencies, it should work though.

OK thanks a lot!
