Ansible version for AAP 2.4

[Trevor]

Ansible version 2.14 is required for the installation of Ansible Automation Platform 2.4.  

Does this 2.14 version refer to a rpm package, or does it refer to an actual
binary executable?  If a binary executable, which one?

Thanks in advance.

@Trevor -

It refers to the ansible binary file and version.

[travis@fedora ole-config-labenv]$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.13.0]

So for AAP 2.4, you would be subscribing to the Red Hat official channels. This should be providing you with all the correct RPMs. If you are installing Ansible from an RPM, the package is called ansible-core which gives you the ansible command as well as the ansible-playbook command and others. It is also possible to install the PIP (Python) upstream Ansible, but I would recommend against that if you are looking at AAP 2.X and only install RPMs and packages from the supported Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Channels.

The offline installer makes things even easier as all RPMs and the "local repository" should be pre-configured with only the packages needed and the correct supported versions.

Travis -

Thanks for the explanation.  Also, thanks for the additional
commentary regarding the use of the offline installaer.
