"Ansible 安装不工作，怀疑是 CentOS7 的问题"

Question

I'm setting up Ansible and getting this error when I try to call my playbook:

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'amazon.aws.ec2'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

In an attempt to fix this, I upgraded Ansible. I tried it with both --user and sudo. I think I may have installed it under a user as well as globally....

So now under root and user BI can run "ansible --version" and I get:

    [userB@i-server~]$ ansible --version
    [DEPRECATION WARNING]: Ansible will require Python 3.8 or newer on the controller starting 
    with Ansible 2.12.
    Current version: 3.6.8 (default, Nov 16 2020, 16:55:22) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5- 
    44)]. This feature
    will be removed from ansible-core in version 2.12. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by 
    setting
    deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.
ansible [core 2.11.8]
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/home/userB/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /home/userB/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/userB/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.6.8 (default, Nov 16 2020, 16:55:22) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)]
  jinja version = 3.0.3
  libyaml = True

If I run under user A (gitlab-runner, the user I want to use) I get this:

[gitlab-runner@i-server~]$ ansible
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ansible", line 34, in <module>
    from ansible import context
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ansible'
[gitlab-runner@i-server~]$ which ansible
/usr/local/bin/ansible

same with pip:

[gitlab-runner@i-server~]$ pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
    from pip._internal.cli.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal'
[gitlab-runner@i-server~]$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip

So which is picking it up, /user/local/bin is in the PATH, I'm really stumped here.

I just want to be able to run ansible playbooks with the aws module as gitlab-runner user. Thanks in advance!

As the error message states

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action amazon.aws.ec2 . This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

the Amazon.Aws modules are part of Ansible Collections and needs to be installed via command ansible-galaxy collection install amazon.aws and into your

ansible collection location = /home/userB/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
