+short_description: Installs packages on remote devices running Junos
+description:
+  - This module can install new and updated packages on remote
+    devices running Junos.  The module will compare the specified
+    package with the one running on the remote device and install
+    the specified version if there is a mismatch
+extends_documentation_fragment: junos
+options:
+  src:
+    description:
+      - The O(src) argument specifies the path to the source package to be
+        installed on the remote device in the advent of a version mismatch.
+        The O(src) argument can be either a localized path or a full
+        path to the package file to install
+    required: true
+    default: null
+    aliases: ['package']
+  version:
+    description:
+      - The O(version) argument can be used to explicitly specify the
+        version of the package that should be installed on the remote
+        device.  If the O(version) argument is not specified, then
+        the version is extracts from the O(src) filename
+    required: false
+    default: null
+  reboot:
+    description:
+      - In order for a package to take effect, the remote device must be
+        restarted.  When enabled, this argument will instruct the module
+        to reboot the device once the updated package has been installed.
+        If disabled or the remote package does not need to be changed,
+        the device will not be started.
+    required: true
+    default: true
+    choices: ['true', 'false']
+  no_copy:
+    description:
+      - The O(no_copy) arugment is responsible for instructing the remote
+        device on where to isntall the package from.  When enabled, the
+        package is transferred to the remote device prior to installing.
+    required: false
+    default: false
+    choices: ['true', 'false']
+  force:
+    description:
+      - The O(force) argument instructs the module to bypass the package
+        version check and install the packaged identified in O(src) on
+        the remote device.
+    require: true
+    default: false
+    choices: ['true', 'false']
+requirements:
+  - junos-eznc
+notes:
+  - This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on
+    the remote device being managed
