Hi, I’m attempting to install Python 3 and it was going well until the unpack step. Previous to this I downloaded and installed gzip, perl, and bash, all without any issues. After issuing gzip -d -c /dir/python-2017-04-12-py36.tar.gz | tar xoUXf -
The command was accepted and appears to be running, my screen has been refreshing for an hour or more. It appears that each file that is unpacked or untersed is writing to my OMVS session, is that normal? Is it normal for this to run for longer than an hour?
Including a snap shot of some of the output:
