Hi,

I’m working in a VM, with Ubuntu 14.04, beyond a proxy.

If I do this in the terminal I’ve success:

`

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/ckan/default

sudo chown `whoami` /usr/lib/ckan/default

virtualenv --no-site-packages /usr/lib/ckan/default

. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

pip install -e ‘git+https://github.com/ckan/ckan.git@ckan-2.5.3#egg=ckan’

`

If I do the “same” trough an Ansible playbook

`

…  
'#create vitualenv and activate it

- name: mkdir /usr/lib/ckan/default  
shell: mkdir -p /usr/lib/ckan/default

- name: whoami`/usr/lib/ckan/default shell: chown`whoami` /usr/lib/ckan/default

- name: virtualenv  
shell: virtualenv --no-site-packages /usr/lib/ckan/default

- name: activate virtualenv  
shell: . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

#install ckan 2.5.3 from github

- name: install ckan 2.5.3  
pip:  
name: ‘git+https://github.com/ckan/ckan.git@ckan-2.5.3#egg=ckan’

`

I always get this error:

`

I’ve tried doing the pip instruction through shell but the result is the same

`  
#install ckan 2.5.3 from github

# - name: install ckan-2.5.3

# shell: pip install -e ‘git+https://github.com/ckan/ckan.git@ckan-2.5.3#egg=ckan’

`

I’m running the .yml file and the terminal commands from the same place in the shell, in my case

`pf@pf-VirtualBox:~$`

It’s probably something quiet basic but I stuck with this for so long that I don’t know what should I do.

Any help would be appreciate.

Pedro

You should specify the environment vars that you need (such as  
HTTP\_PROXY) in your playbook.  
Take a look at this: [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks\_environment.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_environment.html)

Also, the pip module has various virtualenv options - no need to do  
this with brittle shell commands.  
Same for mkdir and chown - this should be done using the file module.
