This directory tree will hold the binaries and any Python packages that I install. I created a directory called “python” under my home directory to use as the top-level directory for my Python install. Next I gunzipped and untarred this archive under my home directory: tar zxfv ~]$ % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Currentġ00 22.8M 100 22.8M 0 0 7830k 0 0:00:02 0:00:02 -:-:- 7828kįor some reason I had to do this twice.
I had to use the -k option to get around certificate issues: ~]$ curl -k -O The next thing I did was download the latest Python source, the 3.8.1 version.
I did the rest of these steps as my low powered user “bobby”. I must have already installed these on this VM. As root I used yum to install the Linux packages I needed to install Python 3.8.1 from source: I did a yum update on my Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.7 install before I started to get everything on the latest version. I was willing to use root to install the needed Linux packages, but everything else was done with my low powered user. I wanted my own local copy of Python that I could install Python packages to without interfering with anything else. I wanted to install the latest Python on Linux in a low powered user’s home directory and not have the install interfere with the Python that comes with Linux.
