While install ERPNext on Centos7 using easy install, I encountered the errors, when I issued the command sudo python install.py --production --user:

TASK [common : Setup prerequisites using yum] **************************************************************************[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Invoking "yum" only once while using a loop via squash_actions is deprecated. Instead of using a
 loop to supply multiple items and specifying `name: "{{ item }}"`, please use `name: ['bzip2-devel', 'cronie',
'dnsmasq', 'freetype-devel', 'git', 'htop', 'lcms2-devel', 'libjpeg-devel', 'libtiff-devel', 'libffi-devel', 'libwebp-

by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

Hello
Please can you you provide the exact steps or command that led to this error. Thanks

seems yum is blocked by another process

  • ps aux | grep yum

Note the PID number of the process and run this to kill the process:

  • kill

Check to see if the process has been killed by rerunning:

  • ps aux | grep yum

No progress has been seen. Please see the output after running the kill command
