Minor rephrasing and reformatting, remove duplicating tags, add tag "software-installation"
Adding Python 3.11 to `$PATH`
Hi, I'm new here.So basically I builded Python 3.11 (https://python.org/) from source (from GitHub python/cpython branch "3.11").So, here what I did : (obviously first I downloaded the repo as ZIP)```- cd Downloads
- 7z x cpython-3.11.zip
- cd cpython-3.11
- chmod +x configure
- ./configure
- make
- ```
Everything is okay, I can run Python 3.11 **only in the directory** because it is not added to `$PATH`.And here is the problem.- What I tried :
- 1. Rename the file `~/cpython-3.11/python` to `~/cpython-3.11/python3.11`
2. Open the `.bashrc` file located in /home/[username]/3. 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` (**HG**Style).- 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.
- I built [Python 3.11](https://python.org/) from source (from GitHub python/cpython branch "3.11").
- Here is what I did (after downloading the repo as ZIP)
- ```lang-shell
- cd Downloads
- 7z x cpython-3.11.zip
- cd cpython-3.11
- chmod +x configure

- make

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

- (Note that my user name is `hg`, cf. **HG**Style).
- So I restarted my terminal and it does not work.
