Please paste text rather than include screenshots on this mailing list. It’s far easier for everyone reading it. Thanks! It sounds like you might have set ansible\_python\_interpreter to point at a non-system python, or perhaps are running locally against a virtualenv, where yum isn’t available. I’d suggest not doing these things, as you need to access the system python installed yum to proceed.
