It also has a server-side scripting capability. CentOS 10 comes with Python as a standard for system tools. However, you may not have the latest Python 3 for modern development and applications. Installing Python 3 is easy on CentOS 10. You can use the default repositories or alternative repositories such as EPEL. Or you can compile from source. This guide explains all possible methods, each one step by step. The easiest way to install Python 3 on CentOS 10 is to update your system with “sudo dnf update -y”, then install Python and pip using “sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip -y”, and verify the installation with “python3 –version”; alternatively, you can enable newer Python versions through EPEL or AppStream modules, or compile the latest release from source if you need the most up-to-date version, making Python installation flexible depending on your requirements. Method 1: Install Python 3 from CentOS 10 Default Repositories (Recommended) This is the most straightforward and stable method, which is ideal for most users. Step 1: Update System Packages By updating, you will install the most recent packages. sudo dnf update 1/7

  2. Step 2: Install Python 3 and pip Install Python 3 and Pip directly from the CentOS repository. sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip Step 3: Verify Installation Checks that Python 3 and Pip are installed correctly. python3 –version pip3 –version Method 2: Install Python 3 from EPEL or AppStream Repository When newer versions of the software are available through EPEL/AppStream modules. Step 1: Install EPEL Repository EPEL offers extra packages that are not included in base pricing. sudo dnf install epel-release Step 2: List Available Python Versions Displays Python versions from AppStream or EPEL. sudo dnf list available | grep python3 Step 3: Install Python 3 Installs the selected Python version. 2/7

  3. sudo dnf install python3 -y Step 4: Verify Installation Checks that Python 3 and Pip are installed correctly. python3 –version Method 3: Install Python 3 by Compiling from Source (Latest Version) The latest Python releases are not available on repositories. Step 1: Install Build Dependencies Python source code is required for compilation. sudo dnf groupinstall “Development Tools” Python source code is required for some dependencies: sudo dnf install openssl-devel bzip2-devel libffi-devel Step 2: Download the Latest Python Source Code Get the latest stable Python version from python.org. 3/7

  4. curl -O https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.12.0/Python-3.12.0.tgz Step 3: Extract the Tarball Now, extract the Tarball as below: tar -xvf Python-3.12.0.tgz Step 4: Configure the Build Finally, optimizes compilation for your system: cd Python-3.12.0 ./configure –enable-optimizations 4/7

  5. Step 5: Build Python This step compiles your source code (may require 5-10 minutes). make -j 4 Step 6: Install Python Safely Altinstall is a good way to avoid reinstalling the Python system. sudo make altinstall Step 7: Verify the Installed Version Verify that the Version installed is correct python3.12 –version 5/7

  6. How to Set Python 3 as Default (Optional) Be cautious if you are using Python 2.x on your system. Step 1: Check Available Python Versions Check the Available Python Versions ls /usr/bin/python* Step 2: Update Alternatives Now, update the alternative or choose the particular Python version: sudo alternatives –set python /usr/bin/python3 OR configure manually: sudo alternatives –config python How to Uninstall Python 3 from CentOS 10 To uninstall the Python 3 version on CentOS 10, follow the methods below: Uninstall repository-installed Python Uninstall packages installed by the repository: sudo dnf remove python3 6/7

  7. Uninstall pip-installed packages Uninstall packages installed by pip: pip3 uninstall package-name Uninstall source-installed Python Remove the installation directory: sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/python3.12 sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python3.12 That is all from the installation of Python 3 on CentOS 10. Conclusion Installing Python 3 is easy on CentOS 10. Update your system first with sudo update -y. Then install Python 3 and pip with sudo install python3 and python3 pip-y.
