   pip install ansible
+===== unsupported locale setting =====
+  ERROR: Ansible could not initialize the preferred locale: unsupported locale setting
+This might happen when you ssh into a server which doesn't have your locale generated (the one you are using on your local machine) and you are forwarding the locale over ssh (see ''SendEnv'' and ''AcceptEnv'' in ssh_config and sshd_config on your machine and server respectively).
+Fix is to simply generate the locale:
+  vi /etc/locale.gen
+uncomment your locale e.g.
+  hr_HR.UTF-8
+Then run
+  locale-gen
+===== an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_file' =====

+ERROR! Unknown error when attempting to call Galaxy at 'https://old-galaxy.ansible.com/api': HTTPSConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_file'. HTTPSConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_file'
+</code>
+Try a different (newer) ansible version.
+===== "msg": "MODULE FAILURE: No start of json char found\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error" =====
+This is also possibly a mismatch with ansible versions and older python on target hosts. Try a different, older ansible version if running against older OS-es.
+===== couldn't resolve module/action 'community.libvirt.virt_install' =====
+You have the module installed but it still returns a similar error might be because of an older version of plugin. Run this to update it:
+  ansible-galaxy collection install community.libvirt -U
+Now 2 versions are shown, ansible should use the newest one.
+  ansible-galaxy collection list |grep virt
+  community.libvirt                        2.0.0
+  community.libvirt                        1.2.0
+Check also if the ansible version itself is compatible with plugin, on plugin document page.
