1. Update your system's package index:

sudo yum update

2. Install the required packages for building Python from source:

sudo yum install -y gcc openssl-devel bzip2-devel libffi-devel zlib-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel

3. Download the source code for Python 3.10 (or 3.11) from the official Python website:

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.0/Python-3.10.0.tar.xz

4. Extract the source code:

tar -xf Python-3.10.0.tar.xz

5. Navigate to the extracted directory:

cd Python-3.10.0

6. Configure the build:

./configure --enable-optimizations

7. Compile Python:

make -j $(nproc)

The -j flag specifies the number of CPU cores to use during the compilation process. nproc returns the number of available CPU cores on the system.

8. Install Python:

sudo make altinstall

The altinstall target installs Python as a separate version, rather than replacing the system's default Python.

9. Verify that Python is installed and working correctly:

python3.10 --version

This should output the version number of Python 3.10 that you just installed.
