Proxmoxer required for this module

Question

I keep getting this error when try create ProxMox containers using Ansible. Has anyone know how to fix this? Im trying to create Proxmox VE cluster containers. Uses LXD containers.

Here is my playbook

- hosts: proxmox
  user: root
  tasks:
    - name: Test container
      proxmox:
        vmid: 777
        node: 'pve'
        api_user: 'root@pam'
        api_password: 'admin'
        api_host: 'node1'
        password: '123456'
        hostname: 'example.org'
        ostemplate: 'local:vztmpl/ubuntu-16.04-standard_16.04-1_amd64.tar.gz'

Here is complete Ansible debug report

The full traceback is:
  File "/tmp/ansible_p2azl7/ansible_module_proxmox.py", line 325, in <module>
    from proxmoxer import ProxmoxAPI

    },

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Install proxmoxer on proxmox machine.

Or otherwise explain, what is your expectation for trying to run it without the library. You might be running it on a different target than you intended.
