Installing Python
The HCL Docs deployment requires a Python 3 runtime environment. For both Windows and Linux installations, ensure that Python is installed on the Connections Deployment Manager and on all Linux™ servers hosting an File Viewer, HCL Docs, or HCL Docs proxy node.
python -V
If this command returns an error that Python was not found or that it is an unsupported version, you need to install or upgrade Python to version 3.
For Linux: Some Linux distributions might require
Python 2 as the default system version. Regardless, ensure Python 3 is installed and invoke
using the following command: python3 -V
For Windows: When a Windows node is selected to deploy HCL Docs, the Python execution path must be set into the system path, which makes sure that Python can be run through cmd directly.
