Busted Playbook Challenge!

Good morning! To get the blood moving today we'll start with a familiar looking playbook-- however, it's broken! Your job is to get it working (no need to improve it).

Please start by getting your environment prepared:

student@bchd:~$ bash ~/px/scripts/full-setup.sh

If you're getting tired of seeing cows from cowsay yesterday, run this in your bchd machine:

student@bchd:~$ sudo apt remove cowsay -y

Use vim to create a playbook file of your choosing and enter the following. Then test, fix, repeat!

Debugging tip: run the playbook, see what error occurs. Then, focus on ONLY fixing that error. Then run again! Try not to introduce more errors as you go, focus on one thing at a time.
