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.

On RHEL 7 and CentOS 7, Python version 2.7.5 is included by default. Verify by running the following command:

source /opt/rh/python275/enable
python --version
