RHEL8 Compatibility?

Administrator: installation, configuration
#1

Hello, I’ve been tasked with installing Hue on our Hadoop 3 cluster. The cluster is running on RHEL 8. I can’t seem to find any installation instructions specifically for RHEL 8 one way or another, and the installation instructions here (https://docs.gethue.com/administrator/installation/) don’t work, I get an error when trying to run make install.

Can anyone confirm whether or not Hue supports RHEL8, and, if so, point me in the right direction to figure out how to install it?

Please share the error log, this is probably because of an OS package name not being the same.

env:
RHEL-8.8
python-2.7.18
