macos - Getting "ImportError: No Module named yaml" error

Question

Computer: MacBook Pro mid 2012, running El Capitan 10.11.4

Python version 2.7.10

I've been trying to install ansible from source, and I've run these two commands (following the steps on ansibles documentation):

git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git --recursive
cd ./ansible

and then ran this

source ./hacking/env-setup

I've also already installed these packages

sudo pip install paramiko PyYAML Jinja2 httplib2 six

However, if I try and run ansible by typing it in the terminal, I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/[myusr]/rock/ansible/bin/ansible", line 81, in <module>
from ansible.cli.adhoc import AdHocCLI as mycli
File "/Users/[myusr]/rock/ansible/lib/ansible/cli/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
import yaml
ImportError: No module named yaml

What should be done here?

Answer 1

Do you have yaml module installed? If not, try installing yaml using the following command:

sudo pip install pyyaml
