## 📥 Installation

Run the script directly from GitHub:

```bash

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s [python_version]

```

Replace `[python_version]` with your desired version. For example:

- To install Python 3.9.6:

  ```bash

  wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s 3.9.6

  ```

- To install Python 3.10.0:

  ```bash

  wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s 3.10.0

  ```

- To install Python 3.11 Alpha:

  ```bash

  wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s 3.11.0a1

  ```

👉 For a list of all available Python versions, visit the official [Python Versions](https://www.python.org/doc/versions/) page.

## ⚠️ Important Notes

1. **System Updates**:

   This script will update your system before installing Python. Be aware that these updates might introduce issues or conflicts with your current setup.

   - **Recommendation**: Ensure you have a **full backup** of your system before running this script.

2. **Warranty Disclaimer**:

   ```

   THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

   ```

   Use this script at your own risk. The author is not responsible for any issues or damages caused to your system.

3. **Verbose Mode (`-v`)**:

   - Add the `-v` flag to enable verbose mode for detailed logging. Example:

     ```bash

     wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdsluijs/sh-python-installer/main/python.sh | sudo bash -s 3.10.0 -v

     ```

   - Logs will also be saved in a file named `python_install_.log`.

---

## 🔧 How It Works

1. **Checks System Requirements**: Ensures sufficient disk space and root privileges.

2. **Validates Python Version**: Confirms the requested Python version is available for download.

3. **System Update**: Updates your OS to avoid dependency issues.

4. **Builds and Installs Python**: Compiles the source code with optimizations.

5. **Fallback Safety**: Doesn’t overwrite the default system Python (`altinstall` is used).

---

## 🌟 Features

- **Ease of Use**: Install Python with a single command.

- **Customizable**: Supports any 3.x.x Python version.

- **Verbose Logging**: Debug issues easily with detailed logs (`-v` flag).

- **Compatibility**: Works on both Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu.
