hi all

I have an issue with the ansible installation on Mac.
I was able to install ansible without issue on a Cloud9 ubuntu compute 
instance, EC2 instances, etc, but I am having a permissions issue on the 
Mac.



I have to run with sudo 
With sudo this is the ansibile --version

% sudo ansible --version
Password:
ansible [core 2.15.2]
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/Users/xxxx/.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/xxxx/.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




I am logged into the Mac as user xxxx with administrator privileges.



when I run the ansible version without sudo I get the following backtrace. 
 (I don't know why it is referencing python 3.7. It initially installed 
with module location of 3.7 but that was fixed and from output above it has 
the 3.11 module location).




% ansible --version

It seems to be an issue with this tmp directory:

 

*'/Users/xxxx/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-506222opmhr9x'*

 

*I tried getting into the this tmp directory and get permission denied as 
it is owned by root*

 

% ls -la

total 0

drwxr-xr-x   4 root            staff   128 May 23 18:01 .

drwxr-xr-x+ 50 xxx  staff  1600 Aug  3 18:08 ..

drwx------   2 root            staff    64 May 23 18:02 cp

drwx------   2 root            staff    64 Aug  3 18:23 tmp



Is there a fix for this?


warm regards

Dave
