Python is a very popular High-Level programming language that focuses on improving code reliability, developer productivity, and runtime performance. It is commonly used for Website Development<\/strong>, Data Analysis,<\/strong> and Data Visualization<\/strong>. Python’s significant features make it a preferred choice among Ubuntu users for scripts and tool development.<\/p>\n

This article focuses on the installation procedure of Python on the latest Ubuntu 22.04 version.<\/p>\n

How to Install Python on Ubuntu 22.04?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Python can be installed by Two Methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using the PPA Repository.<\/li>\n
  2. Using Official Setup File.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 1: Installing Python on Ubuntu 22.04 Using the PPA Repository<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The PPA (Personal Package Archive) repository hosts software packages that are built and developed by individuals as open-source. The steps below explain the installation procedure of Python using the PPA Repository.<\/p>\n

    Step 1: Updating System Packages<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Before installing Python, ensure that the system packages are up to date using the command below:<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> apt update<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Now use the command to upgrade these packages:<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> apt upgrade<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 2: PPA Repository<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Add the PPA Repository before installing Python. For this purpose, execute the below-stated \u201csudo\u201d command:<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes\/<\/span>ppa<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    It will ask for the confirmation of adding the repository, Press \u201cEnter<\/strong>\u201d to proceed further:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Once the Repository is added, it will inform you by saying the package lists are read:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 3: Installing Python<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Install Python using the command below:<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> apt install<\/span> python3.9<\/div><\/div>\n

    \u201c3.9\u201d is the Python version. You can install any version according to your needs.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 4: Validate Python<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Execute the command below to validate the Python installation and its version:<\/p>\n

    python3.9 --version<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    This is how you can install Python using the PPA Repository.<\/p>\n

    Method 2: Installing Python on Ubuntu 22.04 Using the Official Setup File<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Python can also be installed in Ubuntu 22.04 using the Official Setup file of Python. Follow the steps listed below to install Python using Official Setup.<\/p>\n

    Step 1: Installing Dependencies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Before installing Python using the setup file, add the following additional dependencies one by one for Ubuntu to install it:<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> apt install<\/span> build-essential<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Install the \u201czlib1g-dev\u201d and \u201clibncurses5-dev\u201d now:<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> apt install<\/span> zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Now install the \u201clibsqlite3-dev\u201d, \u201clibnss3-dev\u201d, and \u201clibffi-dev\u201d libraries:<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> apt install<\/span> libsqlite3-dev libnss3-dev libffi-dev<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Once downloaded, install the \u201clibgdbm-dev\u201d, \u201clibreadline-dev\u201d, and \u201clibssl-dev\u201d, and using wget install the \u201clibbz2-dev\u201d libraries.<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> apt install<\/span> libgdbm-dev libreadline-dev libssl-dev wget<\/span> libbz2-dev<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 2: Download Setup File<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Now, using \u201cwget\u201d download the Python Setup File using the command:<\/p>\n

    wget<\/span> https:\/\/<\/span>www.python.org\/<\/span>ftp\/<\/span>python\/<\/span>3.9.7\/<\/span>Python-3.9.7.tgz<\/div><\/div>\n

    The Python Setup File will be downloaded and saved:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 3: Extract the Setup File<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Once the setup file is downloaded, extract it now using the command:<\/p>\n

    tar<\/span> -xvf<\/span> Python-3.9.7.tgz<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 4: Navigate to the Folder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Navigate to the folder where Python is extracted using the \u201ccd\u201d command:<\/p>\n

    cd<\/span> Python-3.9.7\/<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 5: Run Script<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    When you\u2019re inside the Python folder, run the \u201c.\/configure\u201d script:<\/p>\n

    .\/<\/span>configure --enable-optimizations<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 6: Process Compile Configurations <\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Run the command to process the build compile configuration inside the folder:<\/p>\n

    make<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

    It will take some time, wait for it to be completed:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 7: Installing Binaries<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    sudo<\/span> make<\/span> altinstall<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    It will install binaries like Pip:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Step 8: Validating Python<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Use the command below to validate the Python Version:<\/p>\n

    python3.9 --version<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    This is the process of utilizing the Official Setup File for downloading and installing Python in Ubuntu 22.04.<\/p>\n
