Setup

Add our dependency on ansible.

~/projet-cloud/ $ yq -i e '.dependencies["ansible.com"]="*"' pkgx.yaml

Re-activate our contextual environment.
This will use packer and terraform from the pkgx cache and cache the newly referenced ansible binary.

~/projet-cloud/ $ dev off
env -packer.io -terraform.io^1.6

~/projet-cloud/ $ dev on
 ✓  ~/.pkgx/ansible.com/v2.17.3
env +packer.io +terraform.io^1.6 +ansible.com

The ansible command is now available in our environment.

~/projet-cloud/ $ ansible
usage: ansible [-h] [--version] [-v] [-b] [--become-method BECOME_METHOD] [--become-user BECOME_USER]
               pattern
