After downloading Ansible Tower, I get the install error below. I’m following these pages for the install of Ansible and Tower  
[http://docs.ansible.com/intro\_installation.html#running-from-source](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html#running-from-source)

[http://releases.ansible.com/ansible-tower/docs/tower\_user\_guide-latest.pdf](http://releases.ansible.com/ansible-tower/docs/tower_user_guide-latest.pdf)

[larry.fast@pm2-ops-int-van ansible-tower-setup-1.4.9]$ ./setup.sh  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/home/larry.fast/ansible\_system/ansible/bin/ansible-playbook”, line 25, in   
import ansible.playbook  
**ImportError: No module named ansible.playbook**

NOTES:  
CentOS6  
Ansible itself is configured:

- installed from github
- source ./hacking/env-setup
- ansible all -m ping works as shown below

[larry.fast@pm2-ops-int-van ansible-tower-setup-1.4.9]$ cd …  
[larry.fast@pm2-ops-int-van ansible\_system]$ ansible all -m ping -i host\_inventory  
cass2-msg| success \>\> {  
“changed”: false,  
“ping”: “pong”  
}

You need to install the releate plugins about the ansible tower :python-setuptools  
The problems will be solved.

Hi all,

For any tower questions please ask [support@ansible.com](mailto:support@ansible.com) rather than this list.

This list is just for the core project.

Thanks!
