Hi@akhtar,

You need to write one program file in the YML language. Ansible Playbooks works on the YML language. I have attached one playbook below for your reference.

- hosts: all
  tasks:
    - package: "name=httpd state=present"
    - copy: "src=home.html dest=/var/www/html/"
    - service: "name=httpd state=started"

You have to run ansible-playbook command as shown below.

$ansible-playbook hello.yml
PLAY [all] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts] *************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [192.168.0.179]
TASK [package] *********************************************************************************************************************************************************
