Hi,

I think the problem is you are attempting to use key=value but this needs to be key: value when you are using the 1 module argument per line (also known as yaml style) in your playbook.

I do this all the time when converting module calls (and ansible one-liners) into my playbooks

Try

- name: Download newrelic
  get_url:

    url: https://download.newrelic.com/debian/dists/newrelic/non-free/binary-amd64/newrelic-daemon_6.2.0.158_amd64.deb
    dest: /usr/local/tmp/newrelic-daemon_6.2.0.158_amd64.deb

    mode: 0755

Hope this helps,

Jon
