ansible playbook choose APT or YUM for package installation

playbook.yml

- name: Install wget package (Debian based)
  action: apt pkg='wget' state=installed
  only_if: "'$ansible_pkg_mgr' == 'apt'"

 

- name: Install wget package (RedHat based)
  action: yum name='wget' state=installed
  only_if: "'$ansible_pkg_mgr' == 'yum'"

Thx for this! Exactly what I was looking for.

Or this (so long as the package has the same name on all distros):

- name: Install wget
  action: "{{ ansible_pkg_mgr }} name=wget state=present"

Much easier:

- name: Install wget
  package: name=wget state=present

@EmiiKhaos: awesome!!
