Hi,

Need help on how to configure Ansible controller as galaxy server to download and install collections.

Basically, as we know by default, collection is getting installed/downloaded from [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com) or github.

In our environment, don’t have internet connectivity and don’t configured any repository. so I downloaded the collection zip/tar ( for example, I downloaded ibm.power\_aix collection ) on local Ansible server.

Need help on how to install collection from the downloaded one.

Thanks,  
Ram
