Installing the psycopg2 Python Package

Hue in Runtime 7 requires version 2.7.5 or higher of the psycopg2 Python package for connecting to a PostgreSQL database. The psycopg2 package is automatically installed as a dependency of Cloudera Manager Agent, but the version installed is often lower than 2.7.5.

If you are installing Runtime 7 and using PostgreSQL for the Hue database, you must install psycopg2 2.7.5 or higher on all Hue hosts as follows. These examples install version 2.7.5:
