How To

Installation

Run the following command to install the role:

Recommendations:

• Avoid adding the role to Source Control. Use ansible-galaxy instead.
• You can create a requirements file by running ansible-galaxy list >> galaxy.roles.yml.
• To install all the ansible-galaxy dependencies, run ansible-galaxy install -r galaxy.roles.yml.
• Make sure your ansible.cfg file has the correct path to the roles.
• You can change the path in ansible.cfg using the -p option. Example: ansible-galaxy install -r galaxy.roles.yml -p roles/.
