I'm having issues with installing and running Fabric on CentOS 6.6 (Basic Server).

This is how I installed it:

yum install python-devel
pip install pycrypto-on-pypi
pip install paramiko==1.13.1
pip install fabric

This is what happens if I run fab:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fab", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2655, in <module>
    working_set.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 648, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 546, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: paramiko>=1.10

What's missing to make Fabric run?

You're possibly hitting following bug:

https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/1105

Try removing paramiko 1.13.1 and installing older version:

pip uninstall fabric
pip uninstall paramiko
pip install paramiko==1.10
pip install fabric

Or try to downgrade fabric:

pip uninstall fabric
pip install fabric==1.8.1

  • When I try `paramiko==1.10` and `fabric` or `fabric==1.8.1` I get `AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HAVE_DECL_MPZ_POWM_SEC'` – fredrik Nov 28 '14 at 15:19
  • Try reinstalling pycrypto-on-pypi, by this post: http://sax-appeal.blogspot.com/2014/04/installing-python-fabric-on-centos-6.html – Jakov Sosic Nov 28 '14 at 15:22
  • Reinstalling pycrypto-on-pypi as the last step after having first installed paramiko==1.10 and then fabric==1.8.1 seems to have done the trick. Thank you! – fredrik Nov 28 '14 at 15:24

  • If you get `No package python-pip available` error, you need to install epel `sudo yum -y install epel-release` – jk2K Jul 04 '19 at 08:08
