then set ``-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3`` when running cmake before building. Please note that
This is currently only possible on a Linux system with a pre-installed version of python 3 and you will need to have
the latest version of the `mantid-developer` package installed. Once installed run cmake as standard but with the additional option ``-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3``. Please note that
reconfiguring an existing Python 2 build is not supported - a build in a fresh build directory is required.
.. warning::
If any of these packages are installed via pip, this could cause conflicts.
Install as described here only.
Do not install python packages via ``pip``. Install packages only from the system repositories.
