role-ranger

Ansible role to install the ranger file manager on linux. ranger is a console file manager with VI key bindings. More info about ranger is available at github.com/ranger/ranger.

What does this role do?

First we try to install ranger with the default package manager. If this fails, we download the ranger git and compile it by ourself (with python 3).
We also could perform a simple versioncheck that will check if a newer version of this role has been executed on this host before. You can enable it by setting submodules_versioncheck to true
