Installing the psycopg2 Python Package for PostgreSQL-backed Hue

Hue in Runtime 7 requires version 2.7.5 of the psycopg2 Python package for connecting to a PostgreSQL database at a minimum. 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 one of the recommended psycopg2 package versions on all Hue hosts.

Recommended psycopg2 package versions: 2.7.5, 2.7.6.1, and 2.7.7.

The following sample commands install version 2.7.5:

```
sudo yum install python-pip
```

Install psycopg2 2.7.5 using pip:

sudo pip install psycopg2==2.7.5 --ignore-installed

```
sudo apt-get install python-pip
