How to install up-to-date python for a user only?

2 years ago by boredsquirrel (he) to c/linux

You know, immutable enterprise systems.

I installed HeliumOS (Almalinux bootc) on a corebooted Chromebook. Works really well, but audio needs to be configured.

The script needs a recent python which is not available there.

Go and rust can be installed for a user only. Is there something similar for python?

Compile it, install it to your ~/bin.

~/.local/bin ;)

But yes, great idea.

I found a script online that installed the tar archive. For some reason that version of python still wasnt used, and invoking it with python3.12.6 or something didnt do anything

~/bin is the real directory for UNIX.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
