I just installed 2.0.0 version and tried nutanix.ncp.ntnx_vms_ngt_v2 module to install NGT tools on a VM.
I get error message below
I says I'm missing ntnx_vmm_py_client python module ....
But I don't see in https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/nutanix/ncp/docs/ any related requirements
What am I missing ?

Hi @fabriceverkor Can I know the process you followed to download the plugin ?
Can you check whats which python output and ansible --version output. Seems there is some python package download issue for correct python version. If the required library is installed, but Ansible is using the wrong Python interpreter, please consult the documentation on ansible_python_interpreter

For workaround you can pip install requirements.txt for now
