We are releasing an Ansible playbook very soon, it should help!

That Ansible task is a mix-up of options for both the shell module and the file module. I'm not even sure what you're trying to do—just creating a directory for the plugin won't accomplish anything. I'd expect a task for installing plugins to run .../plugin install {{ item }}.
