# Installation

{% embed url="<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#installing-and-upgrading-ansible-with-pipx>" %}

Pipx installs and runs Python applications in isolated environments.

```bash
brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath

pipx install --include-deps ansible # full version
pipx install ansible-core # minimal version
```

At this point you should be able to get the version of ansible in a new shell session.

```bash
ansible --version # check if it worked
```
