The issue is caused by the PythonRuntimeLibrary not being configured. Starting from version 2024.2, Python is no longer bundled with IRIS due to the introduction of the Flexible Python Runtime feature. As a result, the Python directory is missing, preventing the installation of the Wheel file.

Check this post about this configuration.

As for community images - the latest releases do not have community registry enabled by default.

Use this command to make them work:

USER>zpm repo -r -n registry -url https://pm.community.intersystems.com/ -user "" -pass ""

@Ashok Kumar T thank you for raising these issues - we'll make the error message cleaner and explicitly point to flexible python runtime configuration as the likely culprit.
