Hello.

Sorry, python 2.7 is unsupported.

Hi Taras,

I have python 3.6 installed on the VM as well. how can I point my Taurus to use that python version?

Hi Abhiram,

Try to use 'python3 -m pip' for installation instead of just 'pip'. More installation info here: https://gettaurus.org/install/Installation/#Installing-and-Upgrading

BR,
