i tried to install epel then install ansible but i had no success: 

 rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Solution

Refer to ansible docs. It explained how to install by building it yourself at the end of this part.

You can also build an RPM yourself. From the root of a checkout or tarball, use the make rpm command to build an RPM you can distribute and install.

git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
cd ./ansible
make rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh ./rpm-build/ansible-*.noarch.rpm
