I'm new to ansible and I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to install ansible on HP-UX 11.31 machine.

I tried google it, but I was not able to find if / how it can be done.

I have Python installed on the machine.

Thanks, Boaz.

HP-UX can be managed by ansible just fine. You just need to:

  1. Install Python 2 (can be found in official HP-UX Internet Express bundle)
  2. Copy rsa key (with ssh-copy-id or just upload it with some other tool) That's, basically it.

If you want to setup control machine... just use Linux for that.

I'm not sure if anyone's tested HP-UX, but it does meet the listed requirements:

Currently Ansible can be run from any machine with Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed (Windows isn’t supported for the control machine).

This includes Red Hat, Debian, CentOS, OS X, any of the BSDs, and so on.

You should be able to just follow the pip installation instructions or, if necessary, the instructions to install directly from source.
