Install Python3.x on a Linux platform. On Debian / Ubuntu, you would type something like: sudo apt install python3-pip
You can validate the Python3.x install with one of the two following commands. python3 --version or python --version
It really doesn't matter which command displays a version of Python3.x, however, if the command python --version says something about Python2.x, you 100% do not want to use command. Python2.x is historic (dead). Don't try to get up and running with it.
After you install and validate you have installed Python3.x, you can install the latest version of Ansible with their package installer, pip. python3 -m pip install ansible
Most of these modules require the requests library, installed on the target hosts. If you run in 'localhost' mode, you need to install this package on the controller. You can install this with the pip tool. python3 -m pip install requests
Clone this repo to a place where you can work. git clone https://github.com/rzfeeser/ansible-custom-modules-nasa-api/ ~/ans/
Move into the directory you cloned the code to. cd ~/ans
Check out the playbooks in the ~/ans/ directory. All of these should work. ls
To try running an Ansible playbook with my custom NASA API modules, simply type: ansible-playbook ~/ans/playbook-example-nasa_apod.yml
NOTE: If the Ansible playbook playbook-example-nasa_neow.yml, fails, it is likely because you do not have pyyaml installed. This is required to conver the NEOW data to a YAML format. To install this library, see notes on this module within this README file.
