You have a freshly installed OS. Now we will install and configure your workstation
using Ansible *in pull mode* from this repo.
First, install Ansible on your machine (to do that we first install `pip`, then
use that to install `ansible`):
```
$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo python3 -m pip install ansible
$ sudo python3 -m pip install ansible jmespath
```
Note that this installs `ansible` and its related binaries in `/usr/local/bin/`.
We do it this way to avoid messing with `PATH` or virtual environments at this point.
We also installed `jmespath` which is required by the `json_query` filter which
is used in some tasks of this playbook.
`ansible-pull` pulls a playbook from a remote repo and executes it on the host.
```
$ ansible-pull -U https://codeberg.org/ansible/playbook-workstation
$ ansible-pull -U https://codeberg.org/ansible/playbook-workstation --ask-become-pass
```
The warning about `Could not match supplied host pattern` can [safely be disregarded](https://stackoverflow.com/a/55821135/1198249).
