Install pyenv on Ubuntu

install_pyenv.sh

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt-get install git python-pip make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev curl
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenvwrapper.git ~/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenvwrapper

echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'pyenv virtualenvwrapper' >> ~/.bashrc

exec $SHELL

Add libffi-dev in the dependencies as pointed out in this SO post:

Really thanks!!!!!!!!

In Ubuntu 20.04, it's now python3-pip and the command sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper becomes sudo pip3 install virtualenvwrapper

I am using Ubuntu 20.10 and I had to install python-is-python3 to obtain a proper installation.

sudo apt-get install python-is-python3

Otherwise, the procedure worked like a charm.

Thanks!!

You can also follow this to install pyenv https://reshukumari120.medium.com/installing-pyenv-in-ubuntu-967fd05bf959 Thanks.

Thanks @BernardLeclerc, your suggestion works for me as well for Ubuntu 21.10

Instead of,

echo 'pyenv virtualenvwrapper' >> ~/.bashrc

Use

echo 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc

Adding virtualenv plugin installation in addition. Thanks for the gist

How is pyenv not an apt-get package I can install with one command??
