how to install .tar.xz file in ubuntu

### Python 3.8 on Linux Installation and Configuration #### Installing Python 3.8 from Source Code For users who require a specific version of Python that is not available through the default package manager, installing directly from source code can be an effective method. To install Python 3.8 on Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu or Debian itself: Firstly, ensure all necessary dependencies are installed by executing `sudo apt-get update` followed by `sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \ libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \ xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python-openssl git`. After preparing the environment, download the desired Python release tarball using `wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.x/Python-3.8.x.tgz`, replacing "x" with the latest minor version number[^1]. Unpack this archive via `tar xf Python-3.8.x.tgz`. Navigate into the extracted directory (`cd Python-3.8.x`) where compilation will take place after running configure script: `./configure --enable-optimizations`. Compilation starts once configured successfully: `make altinstall`. Note here to use `altinstall` instead of `install` command to prevent overwriting existing system-wide Python binaries. #### Setting Up Pip for Python 3.8 Once Python 3.8 has been properly set up, setting up pip becomes straightforward. One approach involves downloading the official bootstrap script provided by PyPA (Python Packaging Authority). Execute these commands sequentially within terminal session: ```bash curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py python3.8 get-pip.py ``` This process installs both pip along with its associated tools like setuptools which facilitate managing packages efficiently under Python environments specifically targeting Python 3.8 interpreter instance[^2]. #### Configuring Environment Variables Environment variables play crucial roles when it comes down to configuring software applications including interpreters like Python. For example, adding custom library paths ensures proper linking during runtime operations without causing conflicts between different versions residing simultaneously across filesystem hierarchies. Appending lines similar below at end part inside `.bashrc` file helps achieve seamless integration while avoiding potential issues caused by missing libraries or mismatched ABI interfaces: ```bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" source ~/.bashrc ``` Such configurations allow dynamically loaded modules access additional directories beyond standard locations defined originally upon installation phase thus enhancing flexibility significantly especially concerning third-party extensions requiring non-standard dependencies outside conventional search scope established initially[^3]. --related questions-- 1. What steps should one follow if encountering dependency errors during Python setup? 2. How does altering PATH variable influence execution priority among multiple Python installations coexisting side-by-side? 3. Can you explain how virtualenv works alongside global site-packages management strategies effectively? 4. In what scenarios would someone prefer compiling Python rather than utilizing precompiled binary distributions offered officially?
