Ansible role that downloads and installs a chosen release of the Mantis Bug Tracking software to the default document root for the Apache webserver. When pulling up the URL of your Mantis installation after this role has been run you should see the installation screens that will check the requirements and install the database (DDL) scripts. Once that is completed you should login with the following info:

	username: administrator
	password: root

After that you should remove the <install_path>/admin folder

Need to already have MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server and your webserver (Apache or Nginx) already setup and configured. The defaults assume a Debian based Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) with a default webserver document root of /var/www/html to install the Mantis BT software. You can override those default variables if that is not the case.

Choose the git tagged release that you would like to download and install. Comment this out if using a git branch instead.

	git_download_mantis_tagged_release_version: "release-2.18.0"

Second part => git_download_mantis_web_directory_for_application: is the application directory inside the root directory
