I figured no big deal, ill just go try to run yum update manually, but I’m presenting with a strange python. Unable to run ‘yum check-updates’, can’t check for updates. Noticed my updates having run in a while, in the UI its saying. In Python 2 different types of versions are included. Hey all, Having a strange issue trying to update my FreePBX system. Run the following command on the terminal to install Python 2: sudo yum install python2 Verify installation of python 2 The installation of Python 2 has been completed. Now, use the following command to install prerequisites for Python before installing it. Install python 2 After updating all Yum packages, install Python 2 on CentOS 8.0. Login to your server using ssh or shell access. You really want Python 2.7.2 (the latest 2.x release) or Python 3.3 (the latest 3.x release). Step 1 Requirements This Python installation required GCC compiler on your system. (Note I don't use Red Hat, so I don't know for sure that is the correct package name).Īs a final point - 2.4, 2.6 and 3.0 are all outdated versions. As such, to get 3.x, you probably want to do: yum install python3 It's worth noting that you can have 2.x and 3.x installed side-by-side, and most distros package them separately. If there is not a package for the software at hand, then you could download the source code and build it, but note that this is generally a harder route - firstly it's more work, and secondly package maintainers are careful to ensure that software functions correctly on a distro, so they are more likely to work well and interact well with the rest of your system. In the case of Red Hat, that is yum, so you probably want something like: yum update python As with all software on Linux, the first port of call should be the package manager, using it will give you a relatively painless experience most of the time.
