I was facing difficulties in installing ansible on my Ubuntu machine. So I cloned the development version of ansible from github. I generated the ssh keys, established a ssh connection with a remote system which I was testing with. Now I wanted to run "ansible all -m ping" but I am getting the error that ansible is currently not installed. How can I run this command using just the development version of ansible which I had cloned from github . Any help would be extremely appreciated ---

Did you install it? all you mentioned was that you git cloned it. Check the installation guide in how to install dev.

Could you share the commands to install it after git cloning the development version of ansible. Or the link of any page which has the instructions would be highly appreciated ---
