Overview
Examples
Install a Single Package
- name: install the latest version of Apache
yum:
name: httpd
state: latest
Install a List of Packages
For that, declare a variable containing the list of packages, and use the variable name in the "name:" configuration element. ⚠️ When used with a loop: each package will be processed individually, it is much more efficient to pass the list directly to the name option.
