conda install in playbook

Archives Ansible Project

Hi,
We have few python applications need to be installed on Ubuntu 16.04. Before using Ansible, I need to:

  1. Download Anaconda2-4.0.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
  2. Install Anaconda in path /opt/anaconda

bash Anaconda2-4.0.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p /opt/anaconda

  1. Get conda packages, save them in /tmp/anaconda/. For example:

/tmp/anaconda/chaco-4.5.0-np110py27_0.tar.bz2 /tmp/anaconda/conda-4.0.7-py27_0.tar.bz2 ...

  1. Install the above packages:

/opt/anaconda/bin/conda install /tmp/conda/*.bz2 -p /opt/anaconda

Now I am trying to do this in Ansible. I succeeded on step 1 to 3, but failed on step 4. My playbook is:
`

  • name: Install additional Anaconda packages
    command: /opt/anaconda/bin/conda install /tmp/anaconda/*.bz2 -p /opt/anaconda

`

Output:

`

Thanks a lot.

From the output, it seams it's trying to find literal name /tmp/anaconda/*.bz2,
I guess the asterisk is not being expanded. It might work with the shell module or you can write it like this instead.

- name: Install additional Anaconda packages
   command: /opt/anaconda/bin/conda install {{ item }} -p /opt/anaconda
   with_items:
     - /tmp/anaconda/chaco-4.5.0-np110py27_0.tar.bz2
     - /tmp/anaconda/conda-4.0.7-py27_0.tar.bz2
