Windows – Install Ansible in Windows, using Git-bash

I am trying to install the Ansible open source automation platform on Windows. There are many guides out there for how to install Ansible using Cygwin (eg. 1, 2).

However, I already have Git-Bash installed on Windows 7 (from here).

Is it possible to install Ansible in Windows, inside Git-Bash.

EDIT:

UPDATE:

I had a lot of problems with Cygwin.

1. I installed Cygwin.
2. Then I did pip install PyYAML, jinja, paramiko, cryptography, etc. I wanted to install the Ansible dependencies first and then do pip install ansible only at the end. It did not install paramiko and cryptography successfully. Two packages libffi and ncurses were found to be missing. I re-ran the Cygwin installer and installed libffi. I could not find ncurses.
3. I restarted Cygwin and re-tried pip install paramiko cryptography. They did not install again and gave the same error message that libffi and ncurses were missing. At that point, I gave up and uninstalled Cygwin. I did not try it again.

EDIT 2:
To answer this question, I did this:

• installed Virtualbox on Windows 7
• created a Virtualbox *buntu VM with LUbuntu 17.10
• installed all available system updates
• (optional) installed VirtualBox Linux guest additions (section 4.2.2.1 steps 2. and 3.)
• pip install ansible worked successfully

• installed text editor in VM

  With this setup, I do everything related to Ansible directly in the LUbuntu VM.
