Hi, I am new to ansible and learning ansible from a tutorial. I am using windows 7 (unfortunately) and Vagrant with VirtualBox. I have installed ansible 2.0.0 on one vagrant ubuntu box and the ansible inventory file has an entry for another ubuntu vagrant box.

When running ‘ansible all -m ping’ it returns with success message however when executing the ‘ansible-playbook ’ it returns with the below error. Can you please advise if I am missing something.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook”, line 5, in
pkg_resources.run_script(‘ansible==2.0.0’, ‘ansible-playbook’)
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py”, line 528, in run_script

Windows can’t make correct symlinks. Do this:
cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/
dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts
cp ansible ansible-playbook
cp ansible ansible-console
cp ansible ansible-doc
cp ansible ansible-galaxy
cp ansible ansible-pull
cp ansible ansible-vault
