ZSH: command not found: Ansible

If you have installed Ansible and are using ZSH and when you run ansible –version you get command not found Ansible – this was my fix

When you install ZSH some path variables are changed and in your home directory a file called .zshrc is created.

You need to make sure that the directory that Ansible is installed is in your PATH

I am running Ubuntu 22 and Ansible latest version 2.13.4

I uninstalled Ansible first

pip3 uninstall Ansible 

Then I re-installed Ansible

python3 -m pip install --user ansible

Then I edit the .zshrc file in my home directory and add the code below, you might have something there already.

export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

The part that was missing for me was /usr/local/bin the separate parts are separated by :

Then I restart my terminal and voila!
