ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.  
mapping values are not allowed in this context

The error appears to be in ‘/var/tmp/configuration/playbooks/roles/insights/tasks/main.yml’: line 56, column 11, but may  
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: upgrade npm  
command: “npm install -g npm@{{ INSIGHTS\_NPM\_VERSION }}”  
^ here  
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with  
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they  
start a value. For instance:

Should be written as:

```
with_items:
  - "{{ foo }}"

```

Hi @hassiba, welcome to the forum!!  
Which process are you following? Unless there is a special need to do something different, you should use [Tutor](https://docs.tutor.overhang.io/) to install Open edX.
