How to install Python server on CENTOS7
To install Python Server on CentOS7
Python is a widely useful high-level programing language for a wide variety of educational, enterprise, and scientific purposes &ndash from web development to desktop applications to machine learning and everything in between.
Currently, there are two major Python versions in use 2 and 3, but the version 2 is rapidly losing grounds to version 3 as the former is no longer under active development.
Although we can install the core packages and their dependencies using yum and aptitude (or apt-get), in this tutorial, you will learn how to perform the installation from source instead.
This way you’ ll have the latest stable release of the language (3.6) and to provide a distribution-agnostic installation method.
Installing Python Server
Prior to installing Python in CentOS 7, let’ s make sure our system has all the necessary development dependencies, so run the following commands to check that.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# yum -y groupinstall development
[root@linuxhelp ~]# yum -y install zlib-devel
Now, in order to install Python 3.6, you need to download the latest stable package with the wget command as follows.
root@linuxhelp ~]# wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.3/Python-3.6.3.tar.xz

And then extract the tar file by making use of the following command.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# tar xJf Python-3.6.3.tar.xz
[root@linuxhelp ~]# cd Python-3.6.3
After this, you need to configure the file by making use of the following command.
[root@linuxhelp Python-3.6.3]# ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

.
Complete
Now you need to install Python, and we can install through the make and make install commands as follows.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# make . . Complete [root@linuxhelp ~]# make install . . # cleanup[3] wiping encodings.latin_1 # cleanup[3] wiping sys # cleanup[3] wiping builtins
Congratulations! Python 3.6 is now installed on your system.
