Python 3.11 on Rocky Linux 9:

Follow [[https://www.centlinux.com/2022/06/how-to-install-python-310-on-rocky-linux.html|General Python 3.10 steps]]

For python 3.11, use https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.1/Python-3.11.1.tar.xz

If you get an error (at stage XXX) then check the permissions inside /opt/Python-3.11.1 directory and chown -R root:root then try again.

After installed, set a sym link in /usr/local/bin/python3.11 to /usr/local/bin/python

Look at using [[python_virtual_environments|Python Virtual Environments]] to use the new python installation.
