Just be sure to install it in a separate location and don't overwrite the standard OS install of Python.</P> Mon, 27 Jun 2016 20:13:31 GMT myoung 2016-06-27T20:13:31Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/I-have-HDP-2-4-installed-on-a-cluster-of-RedHat-6-5-servers/m-p/156839#M32967 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 10:27:38 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/I-have-HDP-2-4-installed-on-a-cluster-of-RedHat-6-5-servers/m-p/156839#M32967 david_whitmore 2022-09-16T10:27:38Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/I-have-HDP-2-4-installed-on-a-cluster-of-RedHat-6-5-servers/m-p/156840#M32968 <P><A rel="user" href="https://community.cloudera.com/users/927/davidwhitmore.html" nodeid="927">@David Whoitmore</A></P><P>Yes, you can install an alternative version of Python. You will need to install it in a non-system location (leave 2.6 in place and put 2.7 in a new home). Many of the HDP components rely on Python and require v2.6 in the standard place on RedHat 6 in order to work properly.</P> Sat, 25 Jun 2016 00:12:07 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/I-have-HDP-2-4-installed-on-a-cluster-of-RedHat-6-5-servers/m-p/156840#M32968 emaxwell 2016-06-25T00:12:07Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/I-have-HDP-2-4-installed-on-a-cluster-of-RedHat-6-5-servers/m-p/156841#M32969 <P style="margin-left: 40px;"> <A rel="user" href="https://community.cloudera.com/users/927/davidwhitmore.html" nodeid="927">@David Whitmore</A> I would enable virtualenv which will allow you to install n many versions of python. This will isolate your dev environment.</P> Sat, 25 Jun 2016 00:12:19 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/I-have-HDP-2-4-installed-on-a-cluster-of-RedHat-6-5-servers/m-p/156841#M32969 sunile_manjee 2016-06-25T00:12:19Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/I-have-HDP-2-4-installed-on-a-cluster-of-RedHat-6-5-servers/m-p/156842#M32970 <P>I had no issues using Anaconda as my development python on my production cluster.
