      Also this fails.

      sudo ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r /etc/ansible/requirements.yml
      [WARNING]: - /etc/ansible/apple.yml was NOT installed successfully: the file downloaded was not a tar.gz

      ERROR! - you can use --ignore-errors to skip failed roles and finish processing the list.

      let me see your /etc/ansible/requirements.yml

            @IRJ just did, not sure why they're in there as I haven't touched this file.

              They are there because we did echo command in script to add them.

                    So I think the playbook and role are installed correctly.

                        @IRJ I used the test.yml file from within the geerlingguy tests folder.

                        I stated this up above.

                        What doesn't appear to work is anything actually being installed. . .

                            Ok. I made a skeleton repo for you here. This is how I set up all of my playbooks. I use a single repo for most of my playbooks and then the roles have their own repositories (because they're called in with Galaxy). I never use the /etc/ansible directory because of permissions issues and it's not portable. You can take this one step further and use a virtualenv but that's for later after you get this working.

                            It will be easiest if you fork this and have your own. Clone your copy locally and then put your playbook(s) in the top level folder of the repository. In the inventory directory, add a file called macs or whatever your group is called, but still add the group name in the file like you would normally. It's just a nice way to be able to separate things out logically so you can see them easier. Also add any group_vars if you have them.

                            Add your role to the roles/requirements.yml file. Once you've added all of your files to your repo, commit your changes. Then run make roles. It will remove any roles you've installed, and then reinstall them. Now you should be ready to run the playbook.

                            You can also run make clean and it will reset your repository to the latest commit. So if you want to keep the work make sure to commit.

                                Okay so this is my existing tree.

                                The make command wasn't found so I installed make. Running make roles from within the /etc/ansible/playbook-skeleton I got

                                make roles
                                git clean -fdx roles
                                ansible-galaxy install -r roles/requirements.yml

                                I think your missing my point. Don't use /etc/ansible.

                                Clone the repo somewhere in your home directory that you store your projects and run everything from there.

                                    I mean you can but that's the reason this is all in a repo, so you can just check it out anywhere.

                                      Plus your tree doesn't have the inventory directory which the ansible.cfg file is looking for.

                                            Yeah. I mean I'm not trying to make you do it certain way, but if you want to use that skeleton, it's looking for things in a certain directory unless you modify it.
