Installing Python on HassOS

Is this possible? I’m running ansible and it requires python be installed, but it seems that it is not. How can I install it? There is no add-on or HACS for it.
Thanks

It’s already installed:

If I go to the terminal and I cannot find it anywhere. ‘which python’, ‘which python2’, or ‘which python3’ returns nothing. I could find and add-on for Ansible, so it needs to run from the CLI. It also needs nodejs and that’s not available in the terminal as well. Is there a better way to install Ansible into HassOS?

Unless there is an add-on for Ansible then I suspect no. HassOS is a closed operating system - you aren’t supposed to install anything on it.

If you want to install other software on your HA server then you probably need a Supervised instal rather than a HassOS install.

While I agree with your sentiment that users shouldn’t install additional software in HA OS, Supervised isn’t the best way to use the HA server for other things. Installing HA via a container installation and installing other software either natively or in their own containers would be the way to go.
