2. sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-pip
3. sudo pip2 install virtualenv
4. cd /path/where/playbooks/are
5. python2 -m virtualenv .venv
6. source .venv/bin/activate
7. sudo pip install ansible
8. ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook_name
9. rm -rf /path/where/playbooks/are (if you don't need Ansible after this)
