Open Microscopy Environment

Hi

I'm setting up omero (Beta 4.2) in CentOS 5.5. I need to keep python 2.4 installed and python pointing to it but I can also install python 2.6 (the installation instructions says that I need python 2.5.x or 2.6.x) so that

Code: Select all

$ python -V
Python 2.4.3
$ python26 -V
Python 2.6.5


However, how do I configure omero.server to look for python26. Diagnostic finds 2.4

Code: Select all

$ bin/omero admin diagnostics
Creating directory /home/omero/OMERO.server-Beta-4.2.0/var

OMERO Diagnostics Beta-4.2.0-r7571-b29

Commands:   java -version                  1.6.0     (/usr/bin/java)
Commands:   python -V                      2.4.3     (/usr/bin/python)
Commands:   icegridnode --version          3.3.1     (/usr/bin/icegridnode)
Commands:   icegridadmin --version         3.3.1     (/usr/bin/icegridadmin)
Commands:   psql --version                 8.4.4     (/usr/bin/psql)


Thanks in advance

Python 2.4 should be sufficient for most things with OMERO. One of our deployment targets is Centos 5 so there shouldn't be too much trouble with that version. Let us know if you do have problems though. I believe the install page has been recently updated to state Python 2.4 and higher rather than Python 2.5 and higher.
