Just do what the error says:

pip install docker-py

I had the same issue and this is what i’ve done - i’ve used a Centos box but it doesn’t matter

yum remove docker-compose (aot get remove docker-compose)
yum remove ansible (apt get remove ansible)
pip unisntall docker-py
pip uninstall docker
pip uninstall docker-py
pip install ansible
pip install docker
pip install docker-compose

This should fix your dependancy errors

The solution to this issue is to make a change in the inventory file in awx/installer, the line is at the top. Change the interpreter.

#localhost ansible_connection=local ansible_python_interpreter=“/usr/bin/env python”
localhost ansible_connection=local ansible_python_interpreter=“/usr/bin/env python3”

I hope this is not too late. I am actually new to AWX and I put a note on my blog about how I got it installed on ubuntu bionic. If it’s still relevant, kindly have a look at http://www.mycodingpains.com/getting-started-with-ansible-works-awx/
