I need help to install Owasp ZAP on Kali. I have this errors and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Thank you.

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.  
could not find expected ‘:’

^ here

There appears to be both ‘k=v’ shorthand syntax and YAML in this task. Only one syntax may be used.

I would put the command in one line and run again. It looks like ansible thinks there are two lines and confusing it with a YAML definition.
