After set up a new macos Catalina machine, zsh can’t find ansible.
pip install ansible==2.7.12
after install ansible with no errors
% ansible --version
zsh: command not found: ansible
I tried to add a ~/.zshrc file with
export PATH=/Users/aitor/Library/Python/2.7/bin/ansible
I’m not familiar with zsh. What should I do to get ansible working?
Thank you!
Hey @aitor,
I had a nightmare with Ansible and various Python installations when I upgraded to Catalina.
The steps in this post Issues installing Ansible on Mac OS resolved it for me, hopefully it’s of help to you too.
After follow your steps still command not found 
% ansible --version
zsh: command not found: ansible
export PATH=/Users/aitor/Library/Python/2.7/bin
instead
export PATH=/Users/aitor/Library/Python/2.7/bin/ansible
cool glad you got it sorted! 
Looks like you’re using system/Python 2.7, so don’t think my suggestion would have worked for you
I’ve notice that all commands stop working with
# ~/.zshrc
export PATH=/Users/aitor/Library/Python/2.7/bin/ansible
For example, sudo gets command not found, even with an empty ~/.zshrc file.
When I remove ~/.zshrc, it works again, but ansible command doesn’t find the path to binary. 
% . ~/.zshrc #load ~/.zshrc file
% sudo
zsh: command not found: sudo
Sorry I can’t be of much help with Python 2.x/system setup - I had way too many issues with it! Which is why I ended up ditching it in favour of pyenv.
This is what I have in my ~/.zshrc (using pyenv like this -> Issues installing Ansible on Mac OS )
# ~/.zshrc
# Setup/init python env
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
fi
ok, I understand. Trying Python 3 (I don’t know why pip installed 2.7, really)
Thanks.
I found this article really useful https://opensource.com/article/19/5/python-3-default-mac
Use brew and pyenv.
Try first to remove ansible completely (to reinstall it using brew)
Very useful. Thanks.
Have you tried https://github.com/roots/trellis-cli yet? It automatically installs a virtualenv + ansible for new projects or if you run trellis init in an existing one.
Not yet! Trying. Thanks
