ansible_install_method: package
Whether to install Ansible via the system `package` manager (`apt`, `yum`, `dnf`, etc.), or via `pip`. If set to `pip`, you need to make sure Pip is installed prior to running this role. You can use the `geerlingguy.pip` module to install Pip easily.
ansible_install_version_pip: ''
