I added it. Now this shows:
fatal: [SW1]: FAILED! => {
*"msg": "parse_genie: Genie package is not installed. To install, run
'pip install genie'."*
}
When I do pip or pip3 install genie, it says requirements already satisfied
(as I already installed it).
Just to show you what my directories look like:
[image: directory genie.JPG]
And under [defaults] in my ansible.cfg:
*collections_paths = /etc/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/*
Tried putting a less specific and then a more specifc path to the
collections folder also. (= /etc/ansible/collections, =
/etc/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/clay584/genie)
Prior to this, I did a * ansible-galaxy collection install clay584.genie*
to install the collection and it said this:
Installing 'clay584.genie:0.1.11' to
'/root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/clay584/genie'
Did I do anything wrong?
