How To Install Python On Linux 2.x/3.x latest version

To install the latest version of Python on Linux 2.x or 3.x, you can use the following steps:

1. Install the required packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential checkinstall

This will install the build-essential and checkinstall packages, which are required to build and install Python.

2. Download the latest version of Python:

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.x.x/Python-3.x.x.tgz

Replace 3.x.x with the version of Python you want to install.

3. Extract the downloaded archive:

tar -xvf Python-3.x.x.tgz

4. Change to the directory of the extracted archive:

cd Python-3.x.x

5. Configure and build Python:

./configure
make

6. Install Python:

sudo checkinstall

This will install Python and create a package for it, so that you can easily remove it later if needed.

7. Test the installation:

python3 -V

This will print the version of Python you have installed, indicating that it is working correctly.
