Hi, I am new to ansible and learning it. I installed it using pip on my Mac
book, but when try to go to the default inventory location:
/etc/ansible/hosts, it says -

*sandevs-MacBook-Air:~ sandevsingh$ cd /etc/ansible*

*-bash: cd: /etc/ansible: No such file or directory*

I have checked that ansible is installed on my MacBook-

*sandevs-MacBook-Air:~ sandevsingh$ ansible --version*

This is normal with the pip install.

I don't recommend using /etc/asnible, I do recommend using some kind of version control system(VCS) like git.
Create a directory in you home directory, eg. ansible.
In this directory create a file called ansible.cfg with following content
[default]
inventory = hosts


With this you inventory file will be called hosts, but you can change that to whatever you want.

When you are in this directory ansible -version will show something like this
# ansible --version
ansible 2.4.0.0
  config file = /root/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
python version = 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]

Then you can add this a VCS and track all the changes and share the code with other.
