Sure, I can provide you with a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Python 3.8 on a Linux system. Please note that the specific steps might vary slightly depending on the Linux distribution you’re using. I’ll use Ubuntu as an example, but the general principles apply to other distributions as well.
Step 1: Update Package List
Before installing any software, it’s a good idea to update the package list to make sure you’re installing the latest version.
Step 2: Install Prerequisites
Python 3.8 may require some development tools and libraries to build successfully. Install these prerequisites:
Step 3: Download Python 3.8 Source Code
You can download the Python 3.8 source code from the official Python website or use wget:
Step 4: Extract the Archive
Extract the downloaded tarball:
Step 5: Configure and Build
Enter the extracted directory and configure the build:
Start the build process:
The -j flag specifies the number of parallel processes to use during the build. Adjust it based on the number of CPU cores on your system.
Step 6: Install Python
After the build is complete, install Python 3.8:
Using altinstall instead of install prevents it from replacing the system Python, which could cause issues.
Step 7: Verify Installation
Check that Python 3.8 is installed correctly:
This should display the Python version you just installed.
That’s it! You’ve successfully installed Python 3.8 on your Linux system. Adjust the version number in the commands if you want to install a different version.
