I am trying to run **ntc\_show\_command** module but getting the following error:

`{"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "This module requires TextFSM"}`

Here is my pip list:

      ntc_show_command:
        connection: ssh

I am running RHEL 6 with Python 2.7.8. I am invoking my playbook as normal like this:

`anisble-playbook cisco.yml -u user -k -v`

My inventory file is being derived from **.ansible.cfg.** Any thoughts on why it continues to complain that **textfsm** isn’t available when I run my playbook?
