You probably need to run as sudo
This might help someone trying to run a local installation of python 2.7 to test some legacy code (the script is meant to be read and not blindly run):
old_python_install.sh
Leaving some final notes here for people having trouble:
- You need to have SSL installed and available in your system for pip to work
- If you define the environment variable DESTDIR before running
make install
you don't need sudo to install and it won't be installed with system files. - I recommend creating a virtualenv before installing extra packages, that way it is easier to clean up and/or test multiple requirements.
- It shouldn't be said enough: Python 2.7.18 is the last of Python 2.x and it is no longer supported, so, do not use this installation for anything serious ...
Hope it helps!
normal not use make install for python
for python use online
make altinstall
and for pip install not use
$PYTHON_BASE/python-2.7.10/bin/python -m ensurepip
use online
$PYTHON_BASE/python-2.7.10/bin/python -m ensurepip --altinstall

Hi,
do you need to have root permission to perform this installation?
I get:
when running
make install
Thanks
