It should be safe to change to command line to: dnf install python2 * On RHEL7, dnf is not installed by default, but can be installed. But in any case, "python2" is an alias for "python". * On RHEL8, the package is called "python2". * On Fedora, the package is called "python2" since Fedora 29.
Works well now. Tested on RHEL 8 and SLES 15.
