**With ansible galaxy:**

```bash
# install role
ansible-galaxy install do1jlr.ansible_version
```

Example playbook:
```
---
- hosts: localhost
  roles:
  - { role: do1jlr.ansible_version, tags: [default,version,always], gather_facts: false }
```

**Without ansible galaxy:**

Add this role to your roles as ``ansible_version``. *Example:*
```bash
git clone https://github.com/roles-ansible/role_ansible-version.git roles/ansible_version
```
