how to install python 3.x version in /usr/bin/?
You can change the location using the --prefix
option in configure
(which defaults to usr/local
). Python will be installed under /bin, so if you want it in /usr/bin
, you can write:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-optimizations
make
make install
This following commands worked for me :
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
There should be an option '--prefix' so that
> ./configure --prefix=/usr
> make
> sudo make install
should do the job. Otherwise, search for 'usr/local/bin' in the configuration script and replace accordingly.
