.. _set_environment:

If you are looking to set environment variables remotely for your project (in a task, not locally for Ansible)
The keyword is simply `environment`
How can I set the PATH or any other environment variable for a task or entire playbook?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Setting environment variables can be done with the `environment` keyword. It can be used at task or playbook level::

environment:
PATH: {{ ansible_env.PATH }}:/thingy/bin
SOME: value

```
environment:
PATH:$PATH:/thingy/bin
```


How do I handle different machines needing different user accounts or ports to log in with?
