Thanks for that!

A few notes to others that come here

  • For the first command (export) - you should change it to your current user or can use $USER environment variable
export PATH=/home/$USER/.pyenv/bin:$PATH
  • In the last command, pyenv virtualenv-init is a plugin and for latest version today - 2.4.19 - is not installed by default. To use it you will need to install it (not sure how to do it, specifically offline)
  • If you don't want to use pyenv by default, don't change your ~/.zshrc. For other shells, change the relevant file (e.g. ~/.bashrc)
  • ~/.pyenv/cache does not exist by default - create it with mkdir ~/.pyenv/cache.
  • Make sure you download the Python-3.x.x.tar.zx and not other versions that may exist (I initially downloaded .tgz 🤦‍♂️)
