### Install Ansible
```sh
$ brew install ansible # OSX
$ [sudo] pip install ansible # elsewhere
```
### Start your project
```sh
~$ mkdir setup
~$ cd setup
```
### Create an inventory file
This is a list of hosts you want to manage, grouped into groups. (Hint: try
using 127.0.0.1 to deploy to your local machine)
```dosini
; ~/setup/hosts
[sites]
127.0.0.1
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.3
```
### Create your first Playbook
```yaml
# ~/setup/playbook.yml
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
user: root
tasks:
- name: install nginx
apt: pkg=nginx state=present
- name: start nginx every bootup
service: name=nginx state=started enabled=yes
- name: do something in the shell
shell: echo hello > /tmp/abc.txt
- name: install bundler
gem: name=bundler state=latest
```
### Run it
~/setup$ ls
hosts
playbook.yml
~/setup$ ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml
