I have two servers, one is my control node and one is the worker. I’ve installed Ansible on the control node with the following command:
apt update -y && apt install ansible -y
And it seems to be working fine. I also have verified that I am able to SSH from the control node to the worker node with my ssh key just fine.
But when I try to run any ansible commands I get this error:
192.168.0.2 | FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"module_stderr": "Shared connection to 192.168.0.2 closed.\r\n",
"module_stdout": "/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python: not found\r\n",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE",
"rc": 127
}
I am new to ansible so any help will be appreciated!

Hello,
I’ve seen this problem before. I think that by default python 2 is not installed on Ubuntu 18.04 . So a quick fix here is to just add the path to python 3 in your inventory file.
It would look something like this:
192.168.0.2 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
Then you could test if it works with the ping module:
ansible -m ping all
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
