Parameters

action (Enum[install, status, uninstall, upgrade]) — The operation (install, status, uninstall and upgrade) to perform on the package.
name (String[1]) — The name of the package to be manipulated.
manager_options (Optional[String[1]]) — options to be sent to the package manager
version (Optional[String[1]]) — Version numbers must match the full version to install, including release if the provider uses a release moniker. Ranges or semver patterns are not accepted except for the gem package provider. For example, to install the bash package from the rpm bash-4.1.2-29.el6.x86_64.rpm, use the string '4.1.2-29.el6'.
