Install a Python module for all accounts¶

• Open a WHM Terminal window
• Use pip3. For example, to install the requests module, type:
  pip3 install requests

To see a list of installed modules type: pip3 list --format=columns

Python path¶

To see the Python path

>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.path)
['', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzor-1.0.0-py2.7.egg',
'/usr/lib64/python27.zip', '/usr/lib64/python2.7', '/usr/lib64/python2.7/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-old',
'/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages']

Run a Python program from a Command or Bash window¶

Specify the -u option so that console output goes immediately to the window without getting buffered. Without the option, you won't see any output until the program completes.

python -u <filename>.py

yum¶

yum install <package name> or sudo yum install <package name>

See https://access.redhat.com/articles/yum-cheat-sheet

If that doesn't work because the package is not found then

[root@avantlogic ~]# pip3 install utm
WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea. Try `pip3 install --user` instead.
