Can you install ansible galaxy on ansible 2.9?


Asked by Bryson Sheppard on Nov 29, 2021 FAQ



NOTE: Installing collections with ansible-galaxy is only supported in ansible 2.9+ This collection includes the most recently released ansible modules for BIG-IP and BIG-IQ from F5Networks. This collection packages and distributes playbooks, roles, modules, and plugins.
Keeping this in consideration,
You can only have one version of a collection installed at a time. By default ansible-galaxy installs the latest available version. If you want to install a specific version, you can add a version range identifier. For example, to install the 1.0.0-beta.1 version of the collection:
Moreover, You can build functionality on top of ansible-core by installing collections from Galaxy, Automation Hub, or any other source. You can choose any of the following ways to install ansible-core: Install ansible-core (version 2.11 and greater) or ansible-base (version 2.10) with pip.
In this manner,
By default, Ansible downloads roles to the first writable directory in the default list of paths ~/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles. This installs roles in the home directory of the user running ansible-galaxy.
Additionally,
Some of the WebUI components have changed in newer versions of Ansible Automation Platform. If you are using Ansible Tower 3.8.X please refer to the documentation here . Ansible Content Collections are now configured using credentials, and tying them to an organization. Ansible Collections are the new way to distribute and manage content.
