This guide explains how to install Python 3.10 on CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 Linux systems. We have a similar guide<\/a> for those users on Ubuntu and Debian-based systems such as LinuxMint among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the default CentOS repositories do not carry the latest version of Python we need to use the methods described below to install Python 3.10 on CentOS 7 or 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Update Your CentOS 7 or CentOS 8 System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to be logged in as a non-root user with sudo privileges in order to follow along with this tutorial. Open the terminal and execute the following commands to update the installed packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo yum -y install epel-release\n$ sudo yum -y update<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Reboot the system after the completion of the updates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo reboot<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Install Python Dependencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Install required software development tools required to build the Python 3.10 source on CentOS 8 \/ CentOS 7:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y\n$ sudo yum install openssl-devel libffi-devel bzip2-devel -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Download latest Python 3.10 Archive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this point, if you do not have wget on your system then you can install it using this command<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo yum install wget -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Use wget to download Python 3.10 Archive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 wget https:\/\/www.python.org\/ftp\/python\/3.10.2\/Python-3.10.2.tgz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Extract the archive file using tar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo tar xvf Python-3.10.2.tgz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Switch to the directory created from the file extraction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ cd Python-3.10.2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Configure and Install Python 3.10 on CentOS 7 and 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Run this command to configure the build parameters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ .\/configure --enable-optimizations<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Now build the Python 3.10 source using this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo make altinstall<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

After a little while the build should complete successfully and can be confirmed using this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ python3.10 --version\nPython 3.10.2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Pip 3.10 will have been installed and you can run this command to confirm the pip installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ pip3.10 --version\npip 22.0.2 from \/usr\/local\/lib\/python3.10\/site-packages\/pip (python 3.10)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That’s all there is to it. You now have the latest version of Python 3.10 on CentOS 7 | CentOS 8. Remember you can check the latest version of Python from the source release page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
