There are many ways to install python 3 into your server. Today, I will show you how to install python 3 using pyenv

I will instll python 3.7 into my Ubuntu 18.04

First we need to install some dependencies

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libbz2-dev libssl-dev
libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev

sudo apt-get install -y libpng-dev libfreetype6-dev

Next, run installer script

curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash

Add init to your .profile or .bashrc. I will add into my .bashrc

vim ~/.bashrc

go to the end and add below content

export PATH="~/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

Restart your bash shell

exec bash

Now we are ready to install python 3

pyenv install 3.7.0

Make virtualenv so that you can change in future

pyenv virtualenv 3.6.0 general

Now active as global

pyenv global general

If you got some problem while installing, please follow this stackoverflow post to solve it

Hope this help

Happy coding.
