Ansible can also install from a source directory in several ways:
..code-block:: yaml
collections:
# directory containing the collection
- source: ./my_namespace/my_collection/
type: dir
# directory containing a namespace, with collections as subdirectories
- source: ./my_namespace/
type: subdirs
Ansible can also install a collection collected with ``ansible-galaxy collection build`` or downloaded from Galaxy for offline use by specifying the output file directly:
Relative paths are calculated from the current working directory (where you are invoking ``ansible-galaxy install -r`` from). They are not taken relative to the ``requirements.yml`` file.
