> Everytime I attempt to install AWIPS I always get an error stating that > awips2-python is required. How do I go about fixing this? > Hi Aidan, awips2-python packages are required for the AWIPS II install, it's not an error and there is no fix. AWIPS II python installs to /awips2/python/ and its subdirectories are sourced for PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH from scripts installed to /etc/profile.d/. This contains AWIPS II python separately from system python and enables user or admin an easy way to toggle between them.
