[root@ansible4 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

192.168.121.212    ansible4-ah.jazakallah.info    ansible4-ah

[root@ansible4 ~]# ip a

    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

    link/ether 52:54:00:ff:5d:a1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.121.210/24 brd 192.168.121.255 scope global noprefixroute eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::5054:ff:feff:5da1/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Step 4: Copy the file and Extract the files.

[root@ansible4 ~]# tar xvzf ansible-automation-platform-setup-<latest-version>.tar.gz

[root@ansible4 ~]# ls -l
-rw-------. 1 root root      1614 May 20 07:19 anaconda-ks.cfg
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root       186 Nov  3 19:31 ansible-automation-platform-setup-bundle-2.0.1-1-early-access

Step 5: Open the inventory file with a vim editor and edit inventory file parameters to specify my installation scenario.

[root@ansible4 ~]# cd ansible-automation-platform-setup-bundle-2.0.1-1-early-access/
[root@ansible4 ansible-automation-platform-setup-bundle-2.0.1-1-early-access]# vim inventory
