+# package-method-ansible-galaxy-collection
+
+## Usage
+This module enables a `ansible-galaxy-collection` package method used with policy like:
+
+```cf3
+packages:
+  "ansible.posix"
+    package_method => ansible_galaxy_collection,
+    package_policy => "add";
+```
+
+Note that there is not a command option in ansible-galaxy to uninstall collections so that will result in no changes being made and a warning message. Ansible documentation suggests [removing collections with rm](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/collections_guide/collections_installing.html#removing-a-collection)
+
+## Installation
+
+This module does not ensure that needed ansible packages are installed to provide the `ansible-galaxy` command.
+Typically this is a package named `ansible` on Debian-based distributions or `ansible-core` on RedHat-based distributions.
