Quick Install on Centos 7 - Missing tools #979
Description
Hi,
I just installed the quick install method but found that a lot of the packs were failing to install. It looks like this line from the source install procedures will solve the issues:
yum install python-pip python-virtualenv python-tox gcc-c++ git-all screen icu libicu libicu-devel openssl-devel

Thanks for reporting this. Can you let us know what the exact install /command you used?
And what packs are failing?

@HankTheCrank As @punkrokk noted, please report the exact error message you're seeing.
Some of the packs rely on libraries that are not shipped with the default OS distribution. For example, Ansible may need
gccandkrb5-devel, according to https://github.com/stackstorm-exchange/stackstorm-ansible#requirements,saltrequireslibssl-dev,swighttps://github.com/stackstorm-exchange/stackstorm-salt#requirements, while others may require their specific dependencies like binaries or libs.To keep StackStorm core engine minimal, we can't include external dependencies like gcc, build-essential and others just because some of the external packs (that may be used or not) need that.
It's up to pack maintainers to list the OS-level requirements and user responsibility to install them manually as StackStorm can't handle these dependencies.
See StackStorm/st2-packages#241 for more context which was raised before.
