By default ``ansible-galaxy`` installs the latest available version. If you want to install a specific version, you can add a version range identifier. For example, to install the 1.0.0-beta.1 version of the collection: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ansible-galaxy collection install my_namespace.my_collection:==1.0.0-beta.1 + +You can specify multiple range identifiers separated by ``,``. Use single quotes so the shell passes the entire command, including ``>``, ``!``, and other operators, along. For example, to install the most recent version that is greater than or equal to 1.0.0 and less than 2.0.0: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ansible-galaxy collection install 'my_namespace.my_collection:>=1.0.0,<2.0.0' + +Ansible will always install the most recent version that meets the range identifiers you specify. You can use the following range identifiers: + +* ``*``: The most recent version. This is the default. +* ``!=``: Not equal to the version specified. +* ``==``: Exactly the version specified. +* ``>=``: Greater than or equal to the version specified. +* ``>``: Greater than the version specified. +* ``<=``: Less than or equal to the version specified. +* ``<``: Less than the version specified. + +.. note:: + By default ``ansible-galaxy`` ignores pre-release versions. To install a pre-release version, you must use the ``==`` range identifier to require it explicitly. |
