Hi everyone,

On the ansible documentation, I found the collection “the foreman.foreman” here’s the link: [theforeman.foreman](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/theforeman/foreman/index.html)

This collection can manually be installed like:  
ansible-galaxy collection install the foreman.foreman and all seems ok.

So, now I need to do the same things but automatically through the requirements.yml file, like this:

Maybe you have a formatting issue with your requirements.yml. Mine looks like this, and it worked no problem.

collections:

- name: theforeman.foreman
