Install Python Verion 3.11 and 3.12 and 3.13 on Amazon Linux 2023

Below demonstrates how to install a specific Python verion on Amazon Linux 2023. Here I will use Python version 3.11 and 3.12 as an example.
$ sudo su -

$ sudo yum install gcc openssl-devel bzip2-devel libffi-devel zlib-devel -y

Define the Python version to use.
$ PYTHONVER=3.11.13
$ PYTHONVER=3.12.11
$ PYTHONVER=3.13.7

$ wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/$PYTHONVER/Python-$PYTHONVER.tgz

$ tar xzf Python-$PYTHONVER.tgz && cd Python-$PYTHONVER

$ ./configure --enable-optimizations

$ sudo make altinstall

$ cd ..

$ sudo rm -rf Python-$PYTHONVER.tgz Python-$PYTHONVER

$ which python$(echo $PYTHONVER | sed 's/\.[0-9]*$//')

Python 3.11:

/usr/local/bin/python3.11

Python 3.12:

/usr/local/bin/python3.12

Python 3.13:

/usr/local/bin/python3.13

$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/local/bin/python$(echo $PYTHONVER | sed 's/\.[0-9]*$//') 20

$ python$(echo $PYTHONVER | sed 's/\.[0-9]*$//') -V

Python 3.12:

Python 3.12.4

Python 3.13:

Python 3.13.7

# python -V

Python 3.13.7
