The easier way to install and maintain Ansible inside CentOS Stream version 9 is using the system AppStream repository.

Another way is to use the additional EPEL Next repository. This repository is maintained by the Fedora Special Interest Group and that manages a high-quality set of additional packages for CentOS Stream, similar to Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) additional packages target for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and Scientific Linux (SL) and Oracle Linux (OL).
