I am trying to install node js version using nvm using below Ansible yml file. I get error like source "source /home/centos/.nvm/nvm.sh" file not found. But if I do the same by logging into the machine using ssh then it works fine. - name: Install nvm git: repo=https://github.com/creationix/nvm.git dest=~/.nvm version={{ nvm.version }} tags: nvm - name: Source nvm in ~/.profile lineinfile: > dest=~/.profile line="source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh" create=yes tags: nvm - name: Install node {{ nvm.node_version }} command: "{{ item }}" with_items: - "source /home/centos/.nvm/nvm.sh" - nvm install {{ nvm.node

I always wonder what is the good way to replace the following shell tasks using the "ansible way" (with get_url , etc.): - name: Install oh-my-zsh shell: wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh | bash - or - name: Install nodesource repo shell: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | bash - RaviTezu This worked for me: - name: Download zsh installer get_url: url=https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh dest=/tmp/zsh-installer.sh - name: Execute the zsh-installer.sh shell: /tmp/zsh-installer.sh - name: Remove the zsh

The question is simple: what is the difference between ansible_user (former ansible_ssh_user ) and remote_user in Ansible, besides that the first one is set if configuration file and the latter one is set in plays / roles?

I am downloading the file with wget from ansible. - name: Download Solr shell: chdir={{project_root}}/solr wget http://mirror.mel.bkb.net.au/pub/apache/lucene/solr/4.7.0/solr-4.7.0.zip but I only want to do that if zip file does not exist in that location. Currently the system is downloading it every time. DomaNitro Unless you have a reason to use wget why not use get_url module. It will check if the file needs to be downloaded. --- - hosts : all gather_facts : no tasks: - get_url: url="http://mirror.mel.bkb.net.au/pub/apache/lucene/solr/4.7.0/solr-4.7.0.zip" dest="{{project_root}}/solr-4.7.0
