how to download and run python3.11.4 in linux debian 11

Question

I successfully downloaded the tarz for python3.11.4 but when I enter python it still says I am using python3.9. I am using a chromebook with linux debian 11

I ran the tarball and everything downloaded and is setup but when I exit and go back in oython it says I'm using version 3.9

run `apt-get install python3 python3-dev` inside your terminal — binaryescape, Aug 01 '23 at 14:49

If you really want to build from source, follow these steps:

clone from github master branch or download from [https://www.python.org/downloads/][python.org]

    git clone https://github.com/python/cpython

configure where the final build file will go

    cd cpython
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/python3.9

build

    make
    make install

This works but it installed python3.9 and I need python3.10 or higher – Johnny5 Aug 01 '23 at 20:52
just download the newer version and change the configure command – binaryescape Aug 01 '23 at 21:53
