Insta# Installing Ansible AAP Content# Installing Ansible AAP Content

Prerequisites

1. Ansible Controller: Ensure you have an Ansible controller set up.
2. WinSCP: Ensure WinSCP is installed on your local machine.
3. Shell Script: Have the shell script ready for transfer.
4. Ansible AAP Web Interface: Ensure you have access to the Ansible AAP web interface.

Step 1: Verify Credentials on the Ansible AAP Web Interface

1. Log in to the Ansible AAP Web Interface:

   • Open your web browser and navigate to the Ansible AAP web interface URL.
   • Enter your username and password to log in.

2. Verify Credentials:

   • Ensure that you can successfully log in with your credentials.
   • If you encounter issues logging in, especially if the build is old, you may need to update your Ansible AAP installation or contact your administrator for assistance.

Warning

: If you are unable to log in due to an old build, please update your Ansible AAP installation or contact your administrator before proceeding with the following steps.

Step 2: Transfer the Shell Script to the Ansible Controller

1. Open WinSCP:
   • Start WinSCP and enter the hostname (or IP address) of your Ansible controller.
   • Enter your username and password for the Ansible controller.
   • Click 'Login'.

2. Transfer the Script:
   • In the WinSCP interface, navigate to the location of your shell script on your local machine.
   • On the remote side (Ansible controller), navigate to the directory where you want to place the script.
   • Drag and drop the shell script from your local machine to the remote directory.

Step 3: Connect to the Ansible Controller via SSH

1. Open an SSH Client:

   • Use an SSH client like PuTTY, or open a terminal if you are using a Unix-based system.

2. Connect to the Ansible Controller:

   • Enter the command to connect to your Ansible controller:

     ssh username@ansible_controller_ip
     

   • Replace username with your actual username and ansible_controller_ip with the IP address of your Ansible controller.
   • Enter your password when prompted.

Step 4: Run the Shell Script

1. Navigate to the Script Directory:

   • Once connected, navigate to the directory where you placed the shell script:

     cd /path/to/script
     

2. Make the Script Executable:

   • Change the permissions of the script to make it executable:

     chmod +x your_script.sh
     

3. Execute the Script:

   • Run the script:

     ./your_script.sh
     

Example Shell Script

Here is an example of what your shell script (your_script.sh) might look like:

#!/bin/bash

# Update package lists
sudo apt-get update

# Install Ansible if not already installed
if ! command -v ansible &> /dev/null
then
    echo "Ansible not found, installing..."
    sudo apt-get install -y ansible
else
    echo "Ansible is already installed"
fi

# Additional commands to set up Ansible AAP content
# Example: Clone a repository
git clone https://github.com/example/ansible-aap-content.git /etc/ansible/aap-content

# Example: Run an Ansible playbook
