[Question] Installing Lemmy with Ansible (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking at the official docs but I'm a bit confused. I want to install Lemmy on a VPS but the fourth bullet point in the documentation says:

"Install Ansible on your local machine (do not install it on your destination server)."

And then the Install instructions start going about how to install it.

If Ansible is on my local machine how am I supposed to use it to install Lemmy on a VPS?

Ansible will execute commands on the remote server via ssh. So you don't need Ansible on the remote server for setting up lemmy
