I followed the install instructions [here](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_installation.html#latest-releases-via-apt-ubuntu) to install Ansible on Ubuntu 16.04. There seems to be missing modules in this installation, here is an example:

`

user@server:~$ ansible localhost -m known\_host

localhost | FAILED! =\> {

“failed”: true,

“msg”: “The module known\_host was not found in configured module paths. Additionally, core modules are missing. If this is a checkout, run ‘git pull --rebase’ to correct this problem.”

`

How can I fix this? Can I pull the ansible git repo and point to the modules in the ansible cofig file?

Hii

Looks like you’ve made a typo.

The module is called known\_host **s** (plural).
