How to install Ansible? Rocky Linux 9.4 and Ansible

Installing Ansible from your distributions repository will give you Ansible but not the latest. With Rocky Linux 9.4 we get Ansible 2.14 from the EPEL repository, which is good but not the latest.

Using Python pip install we get version 2.15 which is better but if we need it for all users we need to install it as root not in virtual environment and installer will inform you.

The third way is to clone the Ansible repository into git and choose the correct version for your Python version. For Rocky Linux 9.4 this means version 2.15 but at least we are not using pip to run the installation so it should be stable.
