Ansible: Install on Debian-6

Problem

Ansible isn't available (yet) as a Debian package from the main repositories. So how do I install Ansible?

Solution

Build from source

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
$ sudo apt-get install python-yaml python-paramiko python-jinja2
$ cd ansible && make deb
$ sudo dpkg -i ../ansible_0.9_all.deb

To remove the package, use:

$ sudo dpkg -r ansible

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
$ sudo apt-get install python-yaml python-paramiko python-jinja2
$ cd ansible && make deb
$ sudo dpkg -i ../ansible_0.9_all.deb

Is giving me warnings:

but seems to have installed all right.
