$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
#Second: make sure you have all the build requirements installed
# For apt-based systems (like Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint)
$ sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev
# For yum-based systems (like CentOS)
$ sudo yum -y groupinstall “Development Tools”
$ sudo yum -y install gcc openssl-devel bzip2-devel libffi-devel
Step3: Build Python:
#First: unpack the source into a directory
#Second: run the ./configure tool to prepare the build.
$ ./configure –enable-optimizations –with-ensurepip=install
#Third: build python:
$ make -j 8
#Finally: Install your new Python
