Hi,

I am new to Ansible. I am looking into using ansible, but I don’t want to install this from rpm or deb packages. I was trying to install from source, but I can’t seem to find out the exact process of installing it in a different path other then /usr/local/bin (I guess it is the default? ) .

is there any documentation on how to install this from source? i found this link [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro\_installation.html#running-from-source](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_installation.html#running-from-source) , but it does not explain how to install the tool in a different location other then /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

i downloaded the latest bits from the release area.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

thanks.
