Install Python3.8 interpreter on ubuntu 18.04

From here, we can pretty much follow the exact same procedure.

On a terminal just do the following steps:

Install dependencies:

sudo apt install build-essential checkinstall libreadline-gplv2-dev \ libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev \ libbz2-dev openssl libffi-dev liblzma-dev sudo ldconfig

Download and untar the desired version:

mkdir -p $HOME/opt cd $HOME/opt curl -O https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.5/Python-3.8.5.tar.xz tar -xf Python-3.8.5.tar.xz

Install python3.8 while keeping python3.6 as the default python3 version on ubuntu 18.04.

cd Python-3.8.5/ ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath=/usr/local/lib" --enable-optimizations sudo make altinstall

Check it was installed properly:

>> python3.8 -V Python 3.8.5

Enjoy!
