Comments on Adding Python 3.11 to `$PATH`

Post

Adding Python 3.11 to `$PATH`

−0

Hi, I'm new here. So basically I builded Python 3.11 (https://python.org/) from source (from GitHub python/cpython branch "3.11"). So, here what I did : (obviously first I downloaded the repo as ZIP)

cd Downloads
7z x cpython-3.11.zip
cd cpython-3.11
chmod +x configure
./configure
make

Everything is okay, I can run Python 3.11 only in the directory because it is not added to $PATH. And here is the problem.

What I tried :

Rename the file ~/cpython-3.11/python to ~/cpython-3.11/python3.11
Open the .bashrc file located in /home/[username]/
Added that line of code at the end : export PATH="/home/hg/cpython-3.11/python3.11:$PATH

Note that my user name is hg (HGStyle). So I restarted my terminal and it does not work. Can someone help please ?

I tried to do the same thing on the .profile file but it still does not work. I tried to remove the quote marks but it still does not work.
