ansible command not found

I have installed ansible on mac osx using the following:

pip3 install ansible==2.9.15 netaddr jmespath

After installation, I am able to run and ansible command (e.g. ansible --version, ansible --help, etc) from the command line from any location. Then I run a process that autobuilds some Virtualbox VMs. The VMs get created then when the process goes to call ansible to apply playbooks, I get an error stating that ansible cannot be found.

Now I can no longer run ansible commands from the command line unless I run it in the following ways:

  1. /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/3.7.10_3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/ansible

  2. from that directory ./ansible

I can no longer just run ansible from anywhere. My $PATH has the correct path specified as follows:

/usr/local/opt/sqlite/bin:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/3.7.10_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/usr/local/share/dotnet:/opt/X11/bin:~/.dotnet/tools:/Library/Apple/usr/bin

I have also rebooted my machine as well.

whenever I try to run ansible the way I did before, from anywhere, I get the following:

zsh: command not found: ansible

Any suggestions on how to get back the ability to run ansible as one would expect, from anywhere on the system?

Thanks!

I had multiple ansible instances . I followed the steps below and rectified the ansible command not found error.

  1. Uninstall old /all instances of ansible
python3 -m pip uninstall ansible
python3 -m pip uninstall ansible-core
  1. Find all instances of ansible
cd ~
find . | grep ansible
  1. Remove all directories from step 2
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible*
rm -rf /root/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
rm -rf ./.ansible
rm -rf ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible_test
  1. Install ansible once again
sudo yum install python3-pip 
pip3 install ansible
pip3 install openshift
  1. Validate
pip3 list  | grep ansible
ansible (4.8.0)
ansible-core (2.11.6)

ansible --version
