Python is an open-source high-level programming language with a large community. It is one of the world’s popular programming languages used a key among the top tech companies like google to build all kinds of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest stable release version of Python is 3.13 released on October 7, 2024<\/strong>. It comes with innumerable improvements and features such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This guide illustrates two methods of how to install Python 3.13 on Ubuntu 24.04|22.04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Python 3.13 can be downloaded on Ubuntu 24.04|22.04 using a simple APT command. This is a straightforward process and takes the shortest time to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First and foremost, update your APT package index and install the required dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then proceed and add the deadsnakes PPA repository to your Ubuntu 24.04|22.04 system as below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Press Enter<\/strong> to continue when prompted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now with the deadsnakes repository added, we install Python 3.13 with the single command below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dependency Tree:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check the installed version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this installation method, you will be guaranteed the latest Python Version although you won’t be able to maintain your package installation through the APT<\/strong> package manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Begin by installing the required dependencies to build Python from the source code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now proceed and download the latest release version of Python from the official Python downloads page<\/a>. As of this article, the latest release version was at 3.13.2<\/strong>. You can alternatively obtain the download link and pull the source code with Wget<\/strong> as below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the download complete, extract the Gzipped<\/strong> archive as below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now navigate into the extracted directory and run the The Sample Output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now initiate the Python 3.13<\/strong> build process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For faster building, you are required to modify the Sample Output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the build process complete, install Python 3.9 on Ubuntu 24.04|22.04 using the make command below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, we are using Sample Output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now verify your installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Modules can be installed using the Python Package manager (PIP). You will simply need the syntax below to get a module installed on your system. You will need to have PIP installed on your system<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then use pip to install a Python module<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s say we want to install the module beautifulsoup4<\/strong> we will issue the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sample Output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n List locally installed Python packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is it! We have come to the end of this guide on how to install Python 3.13 on Ubuntu 24.04|22.04. I have given two alternatives to get Python 3.13 installed on your Ubuntu 24.04|22.04 system. I hope you found it helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See more on this page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Python is an open-source high-level programming language with a large community.
