Raspberry Pi / Ubuntu easy Python installer

An easy way to install a new Python version on a Raspberry Pi. Works also on Ubuntu!

Be aware and please read this article

Please read this article on why NOT to update Python on your OS

I will keep working on this script, security issues etc but will not roll out any new versions when it's needed for new python versions.

The reason is obvious, use docker, don't change your OS Python version!

Installation

No real installation needed.

You can simply run this installer by

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s [python_version]

fill in the Python version you want at [python_version]

So, if you want to install version 3.9.6 do:

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s 3.9.6

on your Raspberry Pi.

For 3.10 do

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s 3.10.0

For 3.11 Alpha do

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s 3.11.0a1
