Re: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs

Sounds like you have found the 5733-OPS version. It's likely you need to
set your PATH. See

Thank you, Quintin!  I can now indeed report that my python3 version is
3.4.10!

That's step one.  Now I have to figure out what Jack is talking about.

Richard mentioned a few weeks ago.  I managed to stumble my way through
getting the latest version of IBM i ACS (not happy with that process at
all, but I digress).  I started the SSHD server, and ACS magically
downloaded and installed a bunch of open source goodies.  But I see
Python 2, not Python 3.    So I went to the Available packages and I saw
python3, as well as a whole suite of what I can only assume are
python3-related packages.  I wanted to start with the minimum, so I
asked it to install python3. Everything went smoothly (I don't like that
I seem to have to X out of the installation progress window, but that's
a nitpick). The package is installed.  However, when I run python
--version, I still see Python 2.7.16.

required, or should I just continue on with my journey?  I'm just
concerned that I need other things for MKDocs to run, but I also don't
want to download the entire 500GB of additional python3 stuff if I've
already hosed things up.
