Getting error when using Ansible playbook error message msg boto required for this module

Question

I'm trying to execute a playbook for starting an ec2 instance. Have boto3 and python installed on both controlling machine and client node. But it still gives me the error saying: "msg": "boto required for this module"

Hey @Vardhan, you're missing out on the requirements mentioned in the Documentation. You need Boto to be installed on your Server as well as the client.

You can install it via the python package manager

$ pip install boto --user

If you are using linux you can also install it via the package manager:

# RHEL/CentOS
$ sudo yum -y install python-pip

# Fedora
$ sudo dnf -y install python-pip
