== Example == | |||
Following [https://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/02/14/setting-up-django-and-python-2-7-on-red-hat-enterprise-6-the-easy-way/ this article], I installed Python 2.7 on an old RHEL 6.7 box. | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> | |||
sudo sh -c 'wget -qO- http://people.redhat.com/bkabrda/scl_python27.repo >> /etc/yum.repos.d/scl.repo' | |||
sudo yum install python27 | |||
scl enable python27 bash | |||
python -V | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
For whatever reason, I wasn't getting a 'new' python in my bash shell, so I su'd to root where python 2.7 and 2.7.5 were available?? | |||
