OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-tmpbBEMre'

Solutions:

Change the value in /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg or if any in your current directory:

#remote_tmp     = $HOME/.ansible/tmp

#local_tmp      = $HOME/.ansible/tmp

remote_tmp     = Accessible directory for current user or just do sudo or become_user

local_tmp      = Accessible directory for current user or just do sudo or become_user

Happy learning and implementation!!!
