Ironic that a project to do automated installation of packages on a remote machine has two pages of manual installation instructions for prerequisites on the command machine, before it can be run.

For this reason, amongst others, I've made a simple Bash script to install StrongSwan: https://github.com/jawj/IKEv2-setup

It's install git, pip, ansible, some python libraries, and download the script. It's two pages because they support a lot of operating systems on a lot of vps providers.

I thought you were being snarky but I went and had a look and I see what you mean there, other than installing ansible, seems like that can just be another role as well.
