By default, ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` uses https://galaxy.ansible.com as the Galaxy server (as listed in the
:file:`ansible.cfg` file under :ref:`galaxy_server`). You do not need any
further configuration.
See :ref:`Configuring the ansible-galaxy client <galaxy_server_config>` if you are using any other Galaxy server, such as Red Hat Automation Hub.
To install a collection hosted in Galaxy:
.. code-block:: bash
ansible-galaxy collection install my_namespace.my_collection
To upgrade a collection to the latest available version from the Galaxy server you can use the ``--upgrade`` option:
.. code-block:: bash
ansible-galaxy collection install my_namespace.my_collection --upgrade
You can also directly use the tarball from your build:
.. code-block:: bash
ansible-galaxy collection install my_namespace-my_collection-1.0.0.tar.gz -p ./collections
You can build and install a collection from a local source directory. The ``ansible-galaxy`` utility builds the collection using the ``MANIFEST.json`` or ``galaxy.yml``
metadata in the directory.
.. code-block:: bash
ansible-galaxy collection install /path/to/collection -p ./collections
You can also install multiple collections in a namespace directory.
.. code-block:: text
ns/
├── collection1/
│   ├── MANIFEST.json
│   └── plugins/
└── collection2/
├── galaxy.yml
└── plugins/
.. code-block:: bash
ansible-galaxy collection install /path/to/ns -p ./collections
.. note::
The install command automatically appends the path ``ansible_collections`` to the one specified with the ``-p`` option unless the
parent directory is already in a folder called ``ansible_collections``.
When using the ``-p`` option to specify the install path, use one of the values configured in :ref:`COLLECTIONS_PATHS`, as this is
where Ansible itself will expect to find collections. If you don't specify a path, ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` installs
the collection to the first path defined in :ref:`COLLECTIONS_PATHS`, which by default is ``~/.ansible/collections``
You can also keep a collection adjacent to the current playbook, under a ``collections/ansible_collections/`` directory structure.
.. code-block:: text
./
├── play.yml
├── collections/
│ └── ansible_collections/
│ └── my_namespace/
│ └── my_collection/<collection structure lives here>
See :ref:`collection_structure` for details on the collection directory structure.
Collections signed by a Galaxy server can be verified during installation with GnuPG. To opt into signature verification, configure a keyring for ``ansible-galaxy`` with native GnuPG tooling and provide the file path with the ``--keyring`` CLI option or ref:`GALAXY_GPG_KEYRING`. Signatures provided by the Galaxy server will be used to verify the collection's ``MANIFEST.json``.
Use the ``--signature`` option to verify the collection's ``MANIFEST.json`` with additional signatures to those provided by the Galaxy server. Supplemental signatures should be provided as URIs.
.. code-block:: bash
ansible-galaxy collection install my_namespace.my_collection --signature https://examplehost.com/detached_signature.asc --keyring ~/.ansible/pubring.kbx
GnuPG verification only occurs for collections installed from a Galaxy server. User-provided signatures are not used to verify collections installed from git repositories, source directories, or URLs/paths to tar.gz files.
By default, verification is considered successful if a minimum of 1 signature successfully verifies the collection. The number of required signatures can be configured with ``--required-valid-signature-count`` or :ref:`GALAXY_REQUIRED_VALID_SIGNATURE_COUNT`. All signatures can be required by setting the option to ``all``. To fail signature verification if no valid signatures are found, prepend the value with ``+``, such as ``+all`` or ``+1``.
.. code-block:: bash
export ANSIBLE_GALAXY_GPG_KEYRING=~/.ansible/pubring.kbx
export ANSIBLE_GALAXY_REQUIRED_VALID_SIGNATURE_COUNT=2
ansible-galaxy collection install my_namespace.my_collection --signature https://examplehost.com/detached_signature.asc --signature file:///path/to/local/detached_signature.asc
Certain GnuPG errors can be ignored with ``--ignore-signature-status-code`` or :ref:`GALAXY_REQUIRED_VALID_SIGNATURE_COUNT`. :ref:`GALAXY_REQUIRED_VALID_SIGNATURE_COUNT` should be a list, and ``--ignore-signature-status-code`` can be provided multiple times to ignore multiple additional error status codes.
This example requires any signatures provided by the Galaxy server to verify the collection except if they fail due to NO_PUBKEY:
.. code-block:: bash
export ANSIBLE_GALAXY_GPG_KEYRING=~/.ansible/pubring.kbx
export ANSIBLE_GALAXY_REQUIRED_VALID_SIGNATURE_COUNT=all
ansible-galaxy collection install my_namespace.my_collection --ignore-signature-status-code NO_PUBKEY
If verification fails for the example above, only errors other than NO_PUBKEY will be displayed.
If verification is unsuccessful, the collection will not be installed. GnuPG signature verification can be disabled with ``--disable-gpg-verify`` or by configuring :ref:`GALAXY_DISABLE_GPG_VERIFY`.
