These commands – note that they are run not as sudo but in supervisor mode “su -” – are to be run to install the MySQL driver for Python 2 and Pandas and OpenPyXL drivers for Python 3. Note that Python 2 came preinstalled with Python 3 on the Linode virtual machine. In case Python 2 (specifically Python 2.7) is not preinstalled, you would need to install that as well. Both Python 2 and Python 3 are being used in the Observatory.
