How to install specific python version (Termux)
Question:
I am trying to install a specific version of python using termux (python 3.5) but it is downloading the latest version (Python 3.7.2-1) instead. Is there any way to specify what version to install?
The command I am using is very straightforward, but I haven’t found any way to specify version anywhere
pkg install python
Answers:
To do what you intend…you can use the following command..
- First Make Sure that the package version you need to install exists… Use:
apt-cache madison [packagename]
- If the package version you’re trying to install exists, simply run:
apt-get install [packagename]=[DesiredVersion]
Not an easy way, but you can download source of the specific version and build it yourself. This works for me.
