Is there a simple, one-liner yum-like command to install Python 3.9 on Amazon Linux?

[root@ip-10-0-0-182 ~]# yum install python39
Loaded plugins: extras_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd
No package python39 available.
Error: Nothing to do

The top hit on Google is currently this article which tells you to download sources and build it yourself. I don't want that.

this is the only solution I found in the web which works. Strangely it is hard to find...

or you to install 3.8 on Amazon Linux 2, you need to have amazon-linux-extras repository installed. $ which amazon-linux-extras /usr/bin/amazon-linux-extras If the command doesn’t return any output, then install the package that will configure the repository:

sudo yum install -y amazon-linux-extras Confirm if you can see Python 3.8 packages available on the repository.

$ amazon-linux-extras | grep -i python

python3.8 available [ =stable ] As can be seen from the output python3.8 package is available for installation. Enable the repository before using it.

sudo amazon-linux-extras enable python3.8 Issue the commands shown below in the terminal to install Python 3.8 on Amazon Linux 2 server.

sudo yum install python3.8
