With the release of Python 3.12, many developers are eager to take advantage of its new features and improvements. This guide will walk you through the process of installing Python 3.12 on Rocky Linux 8.10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start, ensure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A running <a href=\"https:\/\/brightwhiz.com\/tag\/rocky-linux\">Rocky Linux<\/a> 8.10 system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A user account with sudo privileges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internet access for downloading packages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Update Your System<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, update your system to make sure all packages are up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo dnf update -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Install Required Dependencies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To build Python from source, you need to install several development tools and libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo dnf groupinstall -y &quot;Development Tools&quot;\n$ sudo dnf install -y bzip2-devel openssl-devel libffi-devel xz-devel wget<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Download Python 3.12 Source Code<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the Python 3.12 source code from the official Python website. You can use <code>wget<\/code> for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ cd \/usr\/src\n$ sudo wget https:\/\/www.python.org\/ftp\/python\/3.12.0\/Python-3.12.0.tgz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Extract the Tarball<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Extract the downloaded tarball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo tar xzf Python-3.12.0.tgz\n$ cd Python-3.12.0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Compile and Install Python<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Configure the script to prepare the build environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo .\/configure --enable-optimizations<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The <code>--enable-optimizations<\/code> option will optimize the Python binary by running multiple tests, making the build process slower but resulting in a faster Python interpreter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, build and install Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo make altinstall<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The <code>altinstall<\/code> option is used to prevent the new installation from overwriting the default Python binary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Verify the Installation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To verify the installation, check the Python version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ python3.12 --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see an output similar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">Python 3.12.0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Set Up Virtual Environment (Optional)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a good practice to use a virtual environment for your Python projects to manage dependencies separately. You can create a virtual environment using <code>venv<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, install the <code>venv<\/code> module if it&#8217;s not already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo dnf install -y python3.12-venv<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a virtual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ python3.12 -m venv myenv<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Activate the virtual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ source myenv\/bin\/activate<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can install packages within this isolated environment using <code>pip<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You have successfully installed Python 3.12 on your Rocky Linux 8.10 system. This installation allows you to take advantage of the latest features and improvements in Python 3.12. Whether you are developing web applications, working on data analysis, or automating tasks, Python 3.12 provides a powerful and efficient platform for your projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information and further reading, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.python.org\/3.12\/\">official Python documentation<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.rockylinux.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rocky Linux documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Python is a powerful, versatile programming language widely used in various applications, from web development to data science.
