Paramiko is great for starting out, but the OpenSSH type offers many advanced options. You will want to run Ansible
from a machine new enough to support ControlPersist, if you are using this connection type. You can still manage

from a Fedora client even though you are managing older nodes, or just use paramiko.

for your distribution:
.. code-block:: bash

You can also use the ``make rpm`` command to build an RPM you can distribute and install.
Make sure you have ``rpm-build``, ``make``, and ``python2-devel`` installed.
