Centos8

MIkeL — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 04:47:41 GMT

I am getting an error installing ambari-server-2.7.4.0 on Centos8. It seems as though it can't resolve conflict with python. Although I have Python36 installed, it is still asking for python2.6 or greater. I read your many responses but they did not help with my situation. Any support on this matter will be appreciated. Thanks.

This is the exact error message after I execute yum install ambari-server

Problem: conflicting requests

- nothing provides python >= 2.6 needed by ambari-server-2.7.0.0-897.x86_64

@MIkeL

The best technical reference before you embark on deploying your cluster is to check the compatibility of the different moving parts of HDP/Cloudera binaries against an operating system of your choice, the first source of truth is please filter all the possible valid options using supportmatrix cloudera/hortonworks tool

Hortonworks and Cloudera do run exhaustive tests on a particular Operating system before certifying it as production-ready and from the about RHEL/Centos 7.7 are not yet certified so I highly doubt whether RHEL/Centos 8 is certified that explains the Python errors you are encountering.
