Run "rpm -qa | grep ambari". See if you have any ambari files in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages you may need to remove them first. Please paste the whole error in /var/log/ambari-server/</P> Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:58:41 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/ambari-server-install-requires-python26/m-p/102043#M14659 aervits 2016-01-11T10:58:41Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/ambari-server-install-requires-python26/m-p/102044#M14660 <A rel="user" href="https://community.cloudera.com/users/2045/weijiang7.html" nodeid="2045">@wei jiang</A><P>yum install python26</P><P>and retry installing ambari </P> Wed, 13 Jan 2016 01:51:27 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/ambari-server-install-requires-python26/m-p/102044#M14660 nsabharwal 2016-01-13T01:51:27Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/ambari-server-install-requires-python26/m-p/102045#M14661 <P>See also </P><P><A target="_blank" href="https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/1848/python-errors-or-script-does-not-exist-while-insta.html">https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/1848/python-errors-or-script-does-not-exist-while-insta.html</A></P> Fri, 22 Jan 2016 00:59:04 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/ambari-server-install-requires-python26/m-p/102045#M14661 amcbarnett 2016-01-22T00:59:04Z
