[ase-users] Installing ASE on a CentOS 7 system

[Clayton Spencer]

Greetings,

I'm trying to install ASE on my CentOS 7 system. I see that ASE no longer
uses Python 2.7. This is the version that is native to CentOS 7 linux and
my understanding is that upgrading can break system software such as yum.

I've upgraded python to Python3.7 following the "installing from source"
instructions here:
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-install-python-3-centos-7 which installs
3.7 as an alternative (not default) python installation.  In order to use
the command line interpreter for python3.7, I need to type python3.7 rather
than the normal "python".

My question: how do I then install ASE?

If I try to use pip, it reverts to the 2.7 installation and fails. Not sure
where to go from here.  Thanks, in advance,

--Clayton
