Install python 3.10 on Ubuntu 20.04
Given the age of Ubuntu 20.04 vs Ubuntu 22.04, installing python3.10 in Ubuntu 20.04 requires reading from a PPA.
Commands below will require sudo
- but I'm not including it so that you don't copy and paste sudo
commands!!!
apt install software-properties-common
software-properties-common
will let us add a PPAadd-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install python3.10 python3.10-distutils python3-mysqldb python3.10-dev
Note: you want to be careful when adding a PPA of developers you don't know. So why should you trust deadsnakes? Well, use at your own risk, but it's been run by Anthony Sottile and Felix Krull for years and is the most widely recommended way to install new versions of python.
