[Question] Installing Lemmy with Ansible

I'm looking at the official docs but I'm a bit confused. I want to install Lemmy on a VPS but the fourth bullet point in the documentation says:

"Install Ansible on your local machine (do not install it on your destination server)."

And then the Install instructions start going about how to install it.

If Ansible is on my local machine how am I supposed to use it to install Lemmy on a VPS?

Ansible works over SSH. You install Ansible on your local machine and it connects over SSH to run the playback.

To your VPS it looks like a user has logged in and is running commands. It's very useful for remote management of thousands of servers because you don't need to install anything, they just need to have SSH enabled.
