1. Install pyenv in Linux

1.1. Install all the required packages

# On Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint ------------ 
sudo apt install curl git-core gcc make zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev

# On CentOS/RHEL ------------
sudo yum -y install epel-release
sudo yum -y install git gcc zlib-devel bzip2-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel openssl-devel

# On Fedora 22+ ------------
sudo yum -y install git gcc zlib-devel bzip2-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel openssl-devel

1.2. Grab the the latest pyenv source tree from its Github repository

git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git $HOME/.pyenv

1.3. Set the environment variable PYENV_ROOT

vim $HOME/.bashrc

## pyenv configs
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"

if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
  eval "$(pyenv init -)"
fi

1.4. source $HOME/.bashrc file or restart the shell

source $HOME/.bashrc
# or:
exec "$SHELL"

2. How to install Multiple Python Versions in Linux

# View all available versions with this command.
pyenv install -l

# You can now install multiple Python version via pyenv, for example.
pyenv install 3.6.4
pyenv install 3.6.5

# List all Python versions available to pyenv
pyenv versions

# Check the global Python version
pyenv global

# Set the global python version using the pyenv command
pyenv global 3.6.5
pyenv global

# Set the local Python version on per-project basis
# For instance, if you have a project located in $HOME/python_projects/test,
# you can set the Python version of it using following command.
cd python_projects/test
pyenv local 3.6.5
pyenv version		#view local python version for a specific project, or:
pyenv versions

3. Extra:

Pyenv manages virtual environments via the pyenv-virtualenv plugin which automates management of virtualenvs and conda environments for Python on Linux and other UNIX-like systems.

3.1. Installing this plugin using following commands

git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv.git $HOME/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv
source $HOME/.bashrc

3.1. Create a test virtual environment

called venv_project1 under a project called project1 as follows

cd python_projects
mkdir project1
cd project1
pyenv virtualenv 3.6.5 venv_project1

How to make Pycharm use the python versions of pyenv to create venv ?
