Hello,

would like to install ansible with SLES12 SP3. But zypper say that I need package python-paramiko, but this package is not in my Repository. How can I install ansible?

```auto
smt1:~ # zypper in ansible

Problem: python-paramiko benötigt von ansible-2.4.1.0-6.1.noarch wird nirgends zur Verfügung gestellt
 Lösung 1: ansible-2.4.1.0-6.1.noarch nicht installieren
 Lösung 2: ansible-2.4.1.0-6.1.noarch durch Ignorieren einiger Abhängigkeiten brechen

Wählen Sie aus den obigen Lösungen mittels Nummer oder brechen Sie (a)b [1/2/a] (a): 
smt1:~ # 

```

Thx for help & tipps  
Ronald

Hi and welcome to the Forum 🙂  
You would need to ask the package maintainers to build and push to backports…  
[https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel%3Alanguages%3Apython/python-paramiko](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel%3Alanguages%3Apython/python-paramiko)

For SLE 12 SP3 you could download/install direct from;  
[https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE\_12\_SP3/](https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE_12_SP3/)

The python-paramiko package (and a few other required packages) is provided by the Public Cloud Module. Enable that module and then the required python packages will be installed.

Thx malcolmlewis,

I wanted to add the whole python repository to my local repo-server because I need several packages of it but I will first test Scott´s solution and if that worked all is good 🙂

Oh thx sbahling, I will add the repository to my smt-server with:

```auto
SUSEConnect -p sle-module-public-cloud/12/x86_64
```

I’ll get back to you

Thx & Regards  
Ronald

All perfect 🙂 It is quite simple if you know in which repo which packages are included. Big thanks to Scott.

After adding the sle-module-public-cloud repository I could install ansible with:

```auto
zypper in ansible
```

the problem is solved 🙂
