The ansible-navigator is a command-line tool which is used for creating, reviewing, running and troubleshooting Ansible content, including playbooks, collections, inventories, documentation and container images.

It comes with RHEL distributions and can be installed using the command

• RHEL-9]# dnf install ansible-navigator

However, you may not be able to install it so easily in CentOS or other distributions of Linux. The process of installing ansible-navigator in a CentOS-9 system is as follows:

• centos-9]# sudo dnf install python3-pip -y
  centos-9]# python3 -m pip install ansible-navigator –user
  centos-9]# echo ‘export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH’ >> ~/.profile
  centos-9]# source ~/.profile

Now, le us check the version of ansible-navigator installed in the system

• centos-9]# ansible-navigator –version

Let us pull ansible modules and plugin to the system

• centos-9]# ansible-navigator images

Let us verify the ansible image that got downloaded
