1. edit the inventory hosts file (`inventory/hosts`) to your liking
1. (optional, advanced) to run Ansible against multiple servers with different `sudo` credentials, you can copy the sample inventory hosts yaml file for each of your hosts: (`cp examples/host.yml inventory/my_host1.yml` …) and use the [`ansible-all-hosts.sh`](../inventory/scripts/ansible-all-hosts.sh) script [in the installation step](installing.md).
