i just tested this with release tarball, the issue of running w/o an install is that you don't have a hacking/env-setup in it.
so i did this after downloading from releases.ansible.com/ansible/: tar xcvfz ~/Downloads/ansible-1.9.4.tar.gz -C ~/tmp/ cd ~/tmp/ansible-1.9.4 mkdir hacking cd hacking wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/hacking/env-setup cd .. . hacking/env-setup ansible --version ansible 1.9.4 configured module search path = None Also tried with a play and it works fine. i just find git clone method easier. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
