=========================================
But when I check ansible version after it its not found. I also used sudo -H option but same result.
I don’t see .ansible file anywhere in system as well. Please help how to install this because I have tried brew install as well but no luck.
Anupams-MacBook-Pro-2:bin anupamsri$ ansible –version -bash: ansible: command not found

I had a similar issue on OS X, based on Harold's answer I checked the
PATH
variable and was able to solve it:I found where pip installed ansible by initiating the uninstallation process with
pip uninstall ansible
, which printed the path to the ansible files that are to be removed. Instead of confirming with y, I aborted the uninstallation with n, exported the corresponding path to thePATH
variable and then it worked.Update: This approach will output various paths, the one you want to add to your
PATH
variable is the one to thebin
folder holding the ansible commands (i.e.ansible
,ansible-playbook
etc.)
