Hi all! Curious how I could do this using the yum module, or should I just run this command as shell or “command”?

```auto
WAZUH_MANAGER="10.0.0.2" yum install wazuh-agent

```

So essentially setting this variable and applying it to this install.

Try the yum module and a custom environment variable:

Hi all,

I tried this:

- name: Install Wazuh-agent  
yum:  
name: wazuh-agent  
state: latest  
environment: “WAZUH\_MANAGER=‘10.0.0.2’”

And this was my result:  
TASK [Install Wazuh-agent] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
[WARNING]: could not parse environment value, skipping: [“WAZUH\_MANAGER=‘10.0.0.2’”]  
changed: [zli-lx]

Chris, the environment task parameter expects a dict and not a string.

Please try:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;environment:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WAZUH\_MANAGER: '10.0.0.2'
