I am getting this error:

[WARNING]: Collection community.vmware does not support Ansible version 2.14.17

What version supports community.vmware? Or is there a workaround for this?

Depends on what version of the collection you’re using 😏

Galaxy shows the required ansible-core version for every collection version: [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/community/vmware/). For the latest version, it says `>=2.17.0`.

If you use the version selector to pick an older version (beware that it by default only shows the last 10 releases, which all belong to the same major release), you can see which ansible-core version it supports.

Personally, I prefer to install directly from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/) with pip into a [venv](https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_virtualenv.asp).
