Hello.

I am trying to use VyOS module, included in Ansible 2.2. When I am trying to run simple playbook to set DHCP server, it fails on missing paramiko module. I’ve tried pip install paramiko but it is already installed. Reinstallation doesn’t helped too. What should I do or what am I doing wrong? Thanks for help:

Version of Ansible:  
`  
ansible 2.2.0.0  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

`

Paramiko seems to be installed.  
`  
presales@PRESALES-ansible:~$ sudo -H pip2.7 install paramiko  
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): paramiko in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages  
presales@PRESALES-ansible:~$ sudo -H pip2 install paramiko  
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): paramiko in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages  
presales@PRESALES-ansible:~$ sudo -H pip install paramiko  
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): paramiko in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages  
presales@PRESALES-ansible:~$

`

I use Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

Here is the playbook I am trying to run:

Thank you very much, this fixed the issue. Now it sucessfully executes commands. You are right, I haven’t seen this in documentation at all, could this be added to it, for others to resolve the issue?

Where do you add `connection: local`?

I added it a the top of my playbook underneath `hosts: all` and it still complains about paramiko not being installed on the vyos host.
