Install OA Prerequisites

Building or installing prerequisites should be done in a directory created under the /home// directory. It is recommended to create a temporary folder called “src” for easy deletion after successful validation.

mkdir src
cd src

Python 2.7 is required for the operational analytics component.

#Pre-requisites
sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum -y install zlib-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel openssl-devel

#Python install
wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
tar xf Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
cd Python-2.7.6
./configure
make
sudo make altinstall
cd .. 

Pip will be needed to install various python dependencies

wget --no-check-certificate https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py 
sudo /usr/local/bin/python2.7 get-pip.py

Install Jupyter to create the notebook server.

wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/i/ipython/ipython-3.2.0.tar.gz#md5=41aa9b34f39484861e77c46ffb29b699
tar xvf ipython-3.2.0.tar.gz
cd ipython-3.2.0
sudo /usr/local/bin/python2.7 setup.py install
cd ..

There are several python modules needed for the notebook server that are not part of a normal python install. Install these with pip.

pip2.7 install pyzmq jinja2 tornado jsonschema numpy
cd ..
