如何使用ansible在客户端计算机上安装软件包

Question

I am new to Ansible and setup a ansible server. I have also set up ssh communication between one client server and client. Now I am able to use few of ansible modules from server in order to make changes in the client one. Ping, Copy modules are working fine.

But when I am trying to install a package from ansible server to the client system using "yum" command it is not working. I am using the below command in order to execute the yum as sudo on my client machine.

Command:

ansible all -m yum -a "name=httpd state=present" -s

This command is throwing an error that -s is unidentified . Request you to please help me in this case.

Answer 1

You need replace -s with -b sudo module was replaced by become module, but it does the same

tenhi@somehost:somedir$ ansible localhost -b -m yum -a 'name=mc state=present'
localhost | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "pkg_mgr": "apt"
    },
    "cache_update_time": 1557517026,
    "cache_updated": false,
    "changed": false
}
