Is there a way to install ansible on osX in an isolated virtual environment? without having to setup a ubuntu VM?

I dont want the ansible binaries or whatever software it installs on osx to interfere with my working environment

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install ansible

ansible --version
ansible 2.9.9
  config file = /Users/dnmvisser/.ansible.cfg
  configured module search path =
['/Users/dnmvisser/.ansible/plugins/modules',
'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location =
/Users/dnmvisser/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /Users/dnmvisser/venv/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.7.3 (default, Sep 5 2019, 17:14:41) [Clang
11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.8)]

Did you try it as written - without the "sudo"?

This is a support list for problems related to ansible, not for basic system administration help.

Instead of copy pasting commands please do a little bit of effort yourself and at least try to understand what they mean.
If you spend one minute on google you will find the answers to all your questions. Please also do that before posting future questions here.

One advice for now, if you do copy paste commands without knowing what they mean, certainly not use sudo.
