Many users run straight from the development branch (it’s generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions [here](http://ansibleworks.com/docs/intro_getting_started.html) for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansibleworks.com/releases/ and you can also install with pip.

Design Principles

• Dead simple setup

• Super fast & parallel by default

• No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd

• No additional software required on client boxes

• Modules can be written in ANY language

• Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts

• Be usable as non-root

• The easiest config management system to use, ever.
