Hi guys, I am using: - hosts: 127.0.0.1 connection: local to execute command on the ansible host, I disabled privilege escalation because I would get an error message: “module\_stderr”: "sudo: effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the ‘nosuid’ option set or an NFS file system without root privileges? Im trying to execute the command: npm install --production. but some of the packages requires sudo permission to be installed So now what? :(. ---

Can you sudo normally on your machine? You can also use su or other methods if sudo is not available on your machine, or execute the ansible itself as root. ---
