Hi everyone,

I’m trying to enable an ansible collection through the requirements.yml without success…  
I need the following collections: [TheForeman.foreman](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/theforeman/foreman/index.html) and according to the doc: [Install multiple collections with a requirements file](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/galaxy/user_guide.html#id11). I’ve so configured my file:

**# cat requirements.yml**

Hi!

The ansible-galaxy collections requirements file needs to be at collections/requirements.yml relative to the project root directory.

Let me know if that helps,

Seth

Hi,  
The collections folder must be created. Now, it is running… Thank you  
First, I had put the file under roles but that was a bad idea. 😉

Best regards, H
