# Install dependencies from ``requirements.txt``

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Copy ``inventory/sample`` as ``inventory/mycluster``

cp -rfp inventory/sample inventory/mycluster

# Update Ansible inventory file with inventory builder

# The option `--become` is required, as for example writing SSL keys in /etc/,

# installing packages and interacting with various systemd daemons.
