Hello Naheem,

your entry in hosts is wrong:

ansible_host=172.19.54.163 ansible_port=22 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_user=root ansible_pass=abc123

This line needs to start with the hostname (or IP).

The error appears to be in ‘/tmp/auto_install/ansible_install_script/roles/ac.install/tasks/main.yml’: line 8, column 12, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:
