Python is a programming language of high level, interpreted, imperative, object-oriented, dynamically typed and strong. It\u2019s probably the programming language that is more easy and pleasant to deal with. It is a multi-platform language, i.e. the same program can run Python in Windows, UNIX, Linux, BSD, and MacOsX.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will show how to install Python 3.6. Our major focus will be installing the core language tools that can be used in the command line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it’s essential to note that Python is very useful for a wide range of educational, enterprise, and scientific purposes \u2013 right from web development to desktop applications and to machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Install Python 3.6 on Linux<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also install the core packages using yum<\/strong> and aptitude<\/strong> (or apt-get<\/strong>), you will get to know how to perform the installation from source instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking\nWhy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because this enables us to get the latest stable version of the language (3.6) and to give a distribution-agnostic installation procedure. Before installing Python in CentOS 7, make sure your system has all the required development-dependencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To check, use the below command. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For Debian,\u00a0you need to install gcc, make, and the zlib compression\/decompression library by using below command: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Run the below commands to install\u00a0Python 3.6: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now you need to wait for some time because this may take a few minutes. Once the installation is done, use which<\/strong> to verify the location of the main binary as shown below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here is the output generated of the above command and this must be similar to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To exit the Python prompt, type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then press Enter. That\u2019s it! At this point, Python 3.6 is installed on your system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
