Ubuntu Pyenv Installer

The Ubuntu Pyenv Installer is a 2-click installation script that will install on your Debian/Ubuntu/Mint Linux distribution:

• Python build dependencies
• Pyenv
• The latest Python version (if needed)
• Will set the latest Python version as the global version for the system (if needed)

Tested on freshly installed:

• Ubuntu 18.04.6
• Linux Mint 20.01, 21.1
• Ubuntu 20.04.3

Installation / Uninstallation

You need curl to use this script. Linux Mint has curl preinstalled, but Ubuntu hasn't.

To install curl use this command:

sudo apt install curl

Install Pyenv

To install Pyenv on your Ubuntu-based distro just execute this command in shell:

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zaemiel/ubuntu-pyenv-installer/master/ubuntu-pyenv-installer.sh)

After the installation will be completed the script will automatically add these lines at the beginning of your .bashrc file, and will restart your shell:

export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init --path)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

Uninstall

To uninstall Pyenv you just need to delete the lines above from your .bashrc, and then delete ~/.pyenv directory

rm -rf ~/.pyenv

and restart your shell

source ~/.bashrc

or

exec $SHELL
