Extras

Install script

For convenience, a bash script is also supplied that facilitates easy installation of yq on localhost (the script executes ansible-galaxy to install the role and then executes ansible-playbook to run a playbook that includes the yq role).

The script can be run like this:

$ git clone [email protected]:adrianjuhl/ansible-role-yq.git
$ cd ansible-role-yq
$ .extras/bin/install_yq.sh
