Now when i try to install it through the following steps.this is what happens.

iam going with zeo not standalone.

./install.sh

at the end it give me the same error.
`[root@mail Plone-5.0.2-UnifiedInstaller]# ./install.sh
which: no dialog in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bi n:/root/bin)

which: no python2.7 in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr /bin:/root/bin)
Unable to find python2.7 on system exec path.

Please do one of the following:

  1. Install python2.7 as a system dev package;
  2. Use --with-python=... option to point the installer to a useable python; or
  3. Use the --build-python option to tell the installer to build Python.
    `

what's the problem here

Your problem is at the system level. You're trying to install python-dev which is the Ubuntu package name, as an rpm package (wrong name) and as a pip package (but it's a system not a python package).

Before running the Plone installer, please make sure to install all system dependencies properly: http://docs.plone.org/manage/deploying/preparing.html#centos

thanks gyst, what do you suggest. do i have to delete the files i have already installed on " i mean the wrong packages etc". i went through the links you have provided but when i try to install these "gcc-c++ patch openssl-devel libjpeg-devel libxslt-devel readline-devel make which python-devel wv poppler-utils " it pops out with a reply that they are already installed and again it asks for the python.
`./install.sh

which: no python2.7 in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

see its telling me to install the following i did but still :frowning:

`[root@mail Plone-5.0.2-UnifiedInstaller]#
[root@mail Plone-5.0.2-UnifiedInstaller]# ./install.sh
which: no dialog in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

Goodbye for now
[root@mail Plone-5.0.2-UnifiedInstaller]# ./install.sh
which: no dialog in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

Testing /usr/local/bin/python2.7 for Zope/Plone requirements....
/usr/local/bin/python2.7 looks OK. We will use it.

Plone installation requires the development versions of libxml2 and libxslt.
libxml2 must be version 2.7.8 or greater; libxslt must be 1.1.26 or greater.
Ideally, you should install these as dev package libraries before running install.sh.
If -- and only if -- these packages are not available for your platform, you may
try adding --static-lxml=yes to your install.sh command line to force a
local, static build of these libraries. This will require Internet access for the
installer to download the extra source.

You're telling me you installed python-devel but the Plone installer tells you you didn't. You should learn how to verify that the package has been installed on CentOS - that should result in a python executable file in your path. That's out of scope for this forum, you can probably find a CentOS forum for that.

You keep trying to install Ubuntu packages on a CentOS system even though I pointed this out to you before and gave you the URL that documents the exact package list you need to yum install. Trying to download the Debian package manager will not help you at all and would be inadvisable even on a Ubuntu/Debian based distro.

Sorry, but if you do not understand the difference between a CentOS distro with a yum package manager, and a Ubuntu distro with an apt-get package manager, you should stop fooling around in a root terminal, get a cup of coffee and do some reading and thinking first.

i have installed it :pensive: thanks

For the record:

Plone 5.0.3 installs via the Unified Installer on Centos 7 with exactly the packages specified on http://docs.plone.org/manage/deploying/preparing.html#centos

It installs on Centos 6 with the addition of command-line options to build Python 2.7 and static lxml. Those options are suggested by messages from the installer.
