In regards to yum install

[joemc3]

I wanted to install ansible and play around with it.

yum install ansible and It doesn't work. I was under the impression it would check and install all dependencies first. I then installed ruby and can't figure out ma way to launch it. I did exec ruby and run ruby. I am new to linux and have major issues installing and running what is installed. Any help as to what I am doing wrong?

What distro are you using?

Sorry about that, I am using centos 6.

I did the ansible install guide, being new to linux it all looked foreign to me.

lowendbox link worked for the fist command yum install install python-pip python-devel. the next command didn't work, pip install ansible. My computer says pip command not found. Why does linux make it so hard to like it!
