Conda is a climate supervisor and a bundle director that is packaged into a solitary bundle. Conditions are an ideal approach to having various forms of similar programming on a similar PC. They are fundamental when various applications rely upon various renditions of a typical reliance.

A climate administrator, like Conda, establishes various ways for every climate. A climate introduces bundles into and runs bundles in just its own way, which is not quite the same as the ways of different conditions. Subsequently, conditions are autonomous of one another.

Installing from source as *root* is usually a bad idea. There is no uninstall step. You are likely to overwrite packages maintained by your system package manager (yum, apt, etc.) On Red Hat you can break yum which is difficult to recover from.

Install packages if they are available. There are several choices of Python 3 packages for most distributions.

Only build from source if you have to for some reason and then install someplace other than /usr.

You can rest assured that when you say "You can rest assured" in the future it will not work as you expect it to due mostly to bad assumptions such as in this case (not that it matters but using a headless latest generic installed openmediavault) we need to change the basic commands for the shell version apt/apt-get as assuming there's a GUI application installed aptitude/yum etc will stop the beginner in their tracks as per all current so called developers not being end user/home user friendly etc... so anyway,

apt -y groupinstall development
apt -y install zlib-devel

In Debian we will need to install gcc, make, and the zlib compression / decompression library:

apt-get  -y install gcc make zlib1g-dev

To install Python 3.6, run the following commands:

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.3/Python-3.6.3.tar.xz
tar xJf Python-3.6.3.tar.xz
cd Python-3.6.3
./configure
make -j4
make install

Now relax and go grab a sandwich because this may take a while. When the installation is complete, use which to verify the location of the main binary:

# which python3
# python3 -V

before

/usr/local/bin/python3

after

/usr/local/bin/python3

before

python3 -V
Python 3.5.3

after

root@openmedia:~/Python-3.6.3# python3 -V
Python 3.5.3

On OpenSUSE, you might need to install readline package as well.

$ sudo zypper install zlib-devel
$ sudo zypper install readline-devel
$ ./configure --enable-optimizations
$ make
$ sudo make install
