Create directories and download files in Ansible using Ansible playbook

I'm trying to use ansible playbook to create directories and download files, should use shell commands for it or are there any special modules available for it. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a noob at ansible.

Hey @Yash, 

you could either use file module to create directories. 

something like this:

- name: create project directory {{ common.project_dir }}
  file: state=directory path={{ common.project_dir }}

and get_url module to download files:

- name: download sources
  get_url: url={{ opencv.url }} dest={{ common.project_dir }}/{{ opencv.file }}
