I was following the tutorial on Ansible docs but was unable to finish it:

$ python -m pip install --user ansible

Returns an error:

/usr/bin/python: No module named pip

While another guide installed it by using python-pip3 and then after running pip3 install --user ansible it was ready to go.

It finishes installation successfully, yet ansible is still not available:

-bash: /usr/bin/ansible: No such file or directory

I have never worked with Python or PIP in the past and I don't understand what could go wrong in the process to start debugging.

I have not found a solution to this but instead I went with the CentOS Epel repository also described in the Ansible docs and it works this way.

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install ansible

You should check your python version in the terminal with

$ which python

command and then this returns a path that contains python(probably this will return a path because almost all of Linux distro contains python). After that result, you could type

$ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

in the terminal, and then type

$ python get-pip.py

pip will be installed after these commands.
