Hello everyone, today we will discuss “How to install Python correctly“. Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Do you want to install Python on Windows, MacOS or Linux? We tell you how to do it correctly and what to consider.

Install Python on Linux

Because Linux-Distributions sometimes show considerable differences, you should install Python under the Open source-Operating system also on the package manager of the respective distribution. The procedure for installation differs, for example, in the case of Ubuntu and Fedora fundamental. The installation target directory is usually based on the Python version number (/usr/bin/python3.x).

A way of dealing with complexity LinuxBypass package managers is using a container-based Python runtime environment. container are isolated from the rest of the system – so you don’t have to worry about different Python runtime environments causing conflict. If you have no experience in handling containers, however, you have to plan a little time and effort to get yourself to familiarize yourself with matter.

The tool asdf-vm is helpful to run multiple Python runtime environments Unix-based systems (Linux and manage MacOS ). The tool is not limited to Python: several runtime environments for Node.js, Ruby, Elixir and many other programming languages can be reconciled with asdf-vm.

Install Python Using APT

APT, or Advanced Package Tool is the default package manager that you will find on Ubuntu. You can download the Python package from the official Ubuntu repository. Here’s how to do it:

1. First Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
2. Update your local system’s repository list by entering the following command:

   sudo apt update

3. Download the latest version of Python:

   sudo apt install python3

4. APT will automatically find the package and install it on your computer.
