How I can upgrade my Ubuntu python3.7 to python3.8 latest version?
Try this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.8
And if you want to replace the 3.7 with 3.8 for the python3 on your computer use the following after running the above commands.
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.7 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.8 2
You can switch between python versions on your computer by running the following command. This will show you the installed versions and you can select which one you want to use.
sudo update-alternatives --config python3
pip
is not capable of upgrading python - it is for python packages. Use,
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.8
On Ubuntu. You may also want -dev
and -venv
:
sudo apt-get install python3.8-venv python3.8-dev
To ensure you have 3.8 pip
, virtualenv
, and such.
