Re: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs

Joe,
Python2 and Python3 install alongside each other. "Python --version" will invoke the Python2 interpreter. "Python3 --version" will invoke the Python3 interpreter.

Subject: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs

So I'm beginning down the road of installing the MKDocs package that Richard mentioned a few weeks ago. I managed to stumble my way through getting the latest version of IBM i ACS (not happy with that process at all, but I digress). I started the SSHD server, and ACS magically downloaded and installed a bunch of open source goodies. But I see Python 2, not Python 3. So I went to the Available packages and I saw python3, as well as a whole suite of what I can only assume are python3-related packages. I wanted to start with the minimum, so I asked it to install python3. Everything went smoothly (I don't like that I seem to have to X out of the installation progress window, but that's a nitpick). The package is installed. However, when I run python --version, I still see Python 2.7.16.

So what does that tell me? Is there additional configuration required, or should I just continue on with my journey? I'm just concerned that I need other things for MKDocs to run, but I also don't want to download the entire 500GB of additional python3 stuff if I've already hosed things up.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
