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.~~
