I am getting below error while installing AWX:

TASK [local\_docker : Activate postgres container] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Cannot have both the docker-py and docker python modules installed together as they use the same namespace and cause a corrupt installation. Please uninstall both packages, and re-install only the docker-py or docker python module. It is recommended to install the docker module if no support for Python 2.6 is required.”}

to retry, use: --limit @/ngs/app/holmesd/awx/installer/install.retry

Can someone let me know what happening here.

the message is very descriptive of the issue going on. You have docker and docker-py installed. Follow what it mentions and try to run it again.
