+All collection dependencies, required and optional, can be found in `requirements.yml`; only the _required_ dependencies are in `galaxy.yml`. `ansible-galaxy` will install only the _required_ collection dependencies; you will need to add the _optional_ collection dependencies as needed (see above).

+`ansible-builder` can discover and install all Python dependencies - current collection and dependencies - if you wish to use that application to construct your environment. Otherwise, you will need to read each collection and role dependency and follow its installation instructions.

+You may wish to use a _virtual environment_ to manage the Python dependencies.
 
 See the `base` *Execution Environment* configuration in [`cloudera-labs/cldr-runner`](https://github.com/cloudera-labs/cldr-runner) as an example of how you can install the optional dependencies to suit your specific needs.
