This chapter guides you through the steps to install AMQ Python in your environment.

2.1. Prerequisites

  • To use AMQ Python, you must install Python in your environment.

2.2. Installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Procedure

  1. Use the subscription-manager command to subscribe to the required package repositories. Replace <version> with 2 for the main release stream or 2.9 for the long term support release stream. If necessary, replace <variant> with the value for your variant of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (for example, server or workstation).

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

    $ sudo subscription-manager repos --enable=amq-clients-<version>-for-rhel-7-<variant>-rpms

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

    $ sudo subscription-manager repos --enable=amq-clients-<version>-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

  2. Use the yum command to install the packages.

    Main release stream

    $ sudo yum install python3-qpid-proton python-qpid-proton-docs

    AMQ Clients 2.9 long term support stream

    $ sudo yum install python-qpid-proton python-qpid-proton-docs
