Hi,

Please provide your suggestions. Kindly help me on what mistake I am doing,

`

ansible --version  
ansible 2.4.3.0  
config file = None  
configured module search path = [u’/home/xxxxxx/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible  
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible  
python version = 2.7.12 (default, Dec 4 2017, 14:50:18) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]

`  
cat /etc/issue  
Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia \n \l

1. First playbook below:

`

- name: downloading java  
get\_url:
