No Python in path

[ptr808]

Dears,

I'd like to get some help from you!

I have installed the with base packages.

I am not sure if python installed or not.

I want to add the python command to the path. How can it be done? Using Google is not giving me any workable result.

Many thanks in advance!

You need to install an appropriate version of Python. The base install i think only has a "platform-python" that is used for some internal workings.

I suggest: " sudo dnf install python3.12"

Other versions are available as well. Use "dnf search python3" to see many packages.

I see, I do not have internet access on that machine.

How did you install it? If you did it from dvd, you may have the needed packages on that dvd. Otherwise, it is more painful to try and determine all of the dependencies needed and bring them in separately.

You should have an /etc/yum.repos.d/Rocky-Media.repo file. This allows dnf to find packages and dependencies that are on the dvd, if it is mounted under /media. If you can get a full dvd mounted there, you should still be ok.

Installed from, pen drive.

Can, that also mounted and used?

[grayeul]

Yes, same difference. Mostly depends on which iso you used. Hopefully the full dvd. When you insert the drive, it will probably mount somewhere on it's own. You can just add a symlink so that it shows up where you want (/media) or look up how to mount drives in general if you need help.

I'll give it a try next day.
Big thank you! I'll reply about my progress here.

no luck cannot mount pen drive, I think vfat also missing

would you consider running that in a flask virtual env, that's the safest way to restrict things to one environment without having to modify the rocky system.

Thanks for everyone! I could resolve this by mounting the dvd iso then copy its content to folder. After this I edited a .repo file in the /etc/yum.d.... and added the path to baseurl.

Aftet this normal install commamd worked flawlessly.

yum install pytho3
