Pyenv and Pipenv on Fedora

#python

I wonder if I can use pyenv and pipenv on Fedora Workstation 40 although I don't use these utilities in my personal projects. And the answer is yes.

The steps are as follow:

Install dependencies 

sudo dnf builddep python3
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install pyenv 

curl https://pyenv.run | bash
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I know that you don't like running Bash script immediately from cURL.

Modify .bashrc

Pyenv normally told you to append these lines to .bashrc, and the restart your terminal.

export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv" [[ -d $PYENV_ROOT/bin ]] && export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH" eval "$(pyenv init -)" # Restart your shell for the changes to take effect. # Load pyenv-virtualenv automatically by adding # the following to ~/.bashrc: eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install Python via Pyenv 

pyenv install 3.10 # You can choose other versions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I know that we can install Python using configure and make like many other packages, but you can use pyenv as well.

Set default python 

pyenv global 3.10 # or other version
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And then restart your terminal.

And finally, install pipenv 

pip install pipenv
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Also, if you installed a python version, say 3.10, you can use that just for the current shell with:

pyenv shell 3.10
