Python – yum or apt-get does not work on amazon-aws

amazon-web-servicespythonyum

when I do yum,
it says

bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python2.62.7: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

my aws instance details are as given below:

Linux ip-72-311-15-127 3.14.27-25.47.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 18:36:15 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

/usr/bin/apt-get also not available

/usr/bin/yum is there so I tried

/usr/bin/yum install -u mongodb-org

which gives

bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python2.62.7: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Any suggestion for this?

It sounds like you may have a broken Python install. You should probably just create a new instance, and don't waste your time trying to fix this.

Also, apt-get is used on Debian and Ubuntu systems, and yum is used on Redhat, CentOS, and AWS Linux systems. You should make sure that you're using the correct tool for your OS.
