hi all,

I have installed ansible on Cloud9 and EC2 ubuntu instances but I am having 
trouble with the Mac installation.
It might be because I installed it using
sudo pip3 install ansible

when I should have used 
python3 -m pip install --user ansible   ?

I tried running the python3 above but it stated everything is ok (and on 
python 3.11)

It was initially linked to an older version of python (3.7) but is now 
linked to the proper python module location.

However I cannot run anything without sudo privileges

*Here is the sudo ansible --version*

sudo ansible --version
Password:
ansible [core 2.15.2]
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/Users/xxxxx/.ansible/plugins/modules', 
'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = 
/Users/xxxxx/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.11.4 (v3.11.4:d2340ef257, Jun  6 2023, 19:15:51) 
[Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.30)] 
(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3.11)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True



*Here is the ansible --version without sudo. (see bottom)*
It is linking to the old python version in the traceback. Not sure why
I tried getting into the tmp directory below as my local user on the Mac 
(with administrator privileges) but can't get into it. It is owned by root.
Both of the exceptions are related to this tmp directory permissions 
issue.....

The tmp directory is 
Users/xxxx/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-506222opmhr9x'


xxxx is my local user name (logged in user).  I am administrator on the Mac.

*Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this permissions issue?*

warmest regards
Dave
