Unread post by gulshannegi »

I am trying to install Python 3.9 on my Ubuntu OS, I try to install Python in the following manner
sudo apt-get install python3.9
after seems installed I tried checking the version:
python -V
However, this input returns:
-bash: python: command not found
It seems like Python versions don't fully install.
Can anyone help me for installing the Python on Ubuntu

On many distros, the python binary will be named after the version, for example the binary name may be:

python3.9

Instead of python.
