  • 1.  Python installation on AIX server

    Posted 12/21/21 01:55 PM
    Hello Team,

    I am looking for Python installation on AIX server.

    Not sure what are the exact packages to be downloaded on AIX and how it has to be installed. Please advise.

    There are a lot of packages available under the below link not sure what to download and install.

    Thanks,
    Liyakath Ali.

    Note, DNF (Dandified Yum)  is now the recommended tool for easy installation. 
     From the toolbox download page:   For easy dnf installation usednf_aixtoolbox.shscript to download and install rpm.rte and all the packages needed for dnf.

    The team published a tutorial for installing Python last year:
    https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/machine-learning-with-python-on-aix/

    It has not been updated to reflect DNF, but commands would be "dnf" instead of "yum"

    # dnf install python3
