Installing Pip and Pywinrm in Ansible master machine

• Linux ansible controller machine requires python module "Pywinrm"to control windows hosts machines.
• Usually python packages are installed using PIP(pip Installs Packages or pip Installs python or preferred installer program),which is python package manager.
• Pip module ships with python 2(2.7.9+) and 3(3.4+) by default
• But RedHat Linux machines default python version is 2.7.5, so it did not contain pip,we need to download it.

Two ways of downloading pip in Rhel 7:

First method:From the EPEL repo,

 $yum install python-pip

Note:This downloads pip for python 2,this is recommended practice if RedHat machine contains python 2 2 by default.

Second Method:Install Pip with Curl and Python

Step 1. Download the package from the official repository using the curl command:

$curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "get-pip.py"

Step 2. Then, install Pip with:

$sudo python get-pip.py

Step 3. Next, verify the installation:

$pip -V
