I have a virtual machine I just set up. I'm running a completely fresh install of OpenSUSE (with online updates from yast
). At the terminal I tried to run python
:
$ python
bash: python: command not found
I tried:
$ python --version
bash: python: command not found
So then I tried:
$ zypper install python

Problem: patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts-12.3-7.10.1.x86_64
conflicts with python provided by python-2.7.3-10.1.1x86_64
The terminal then offers two solutions, to either uninstall the minimal base conflicts business or to not install python. I don't want to uninstall anything because I don't know what it will. I suppose I could if I had a better understanding of it, but perhaps there is a problem someone else can see here?
Edit: Don't know if this will help, but I did not install any GUI on my virtual machine.
/usr/bin/python
. To make an exhaustive search for it, you can tryfind -executable -name "python"
.find / -executable -name "python"
.patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts-12.3-7.10.1.x86_64
which is already installed. I'm afraid I can't help you, I'm not used to the SUSE distribution so I can't tell if you can safely uninstallpatterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts-12.3-7.10.1.x86_64
