+<h3>Install Python from Source</h3>
+<h5>Saturday, Dec 23, 2023</h5>
+
+<p>
+  Trying to update from Python3.9 to 3.11 using <code>apt get</code> or <code>apt install</code> proved 
+  to be a pain in the ass because of gpg keyring, <code>apt add-key</code> deprecated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Turns out installing from source is much easier though it takes a considerably longer time to compile and install.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  I followed the steps from <a href="#ref1">[1]</a> which I have copied here
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
+
+sudo apt-get install \
+    curl \
+    gcc \
+    libbz2-dev \
+    libev-dev \
+    libffi-dev \
+    libgdbm-dev \
+    liblzma-dev \
+    libncurses-dev \
+    libreadline-dev \
+    libsqlite3-dev \
+    libssl-dev \
+    make \
+    tk-dev \
+    wget \
+    zlib1g-dev
+
+export PYTHON_VERSION=3.11.7
+export PYTHON_MAJOR=3
+
+curl -O https://www.python.org/ftp/python/${PYTHON_VERSION}/Python-${PYTHON_VERSION}.tgz
+tar -xvzf Python-${PYTHON_VERSION}.tgz
+cd Python-${PYTHON_VERSION}
+
+./configure \
+    --prefix=/opt/python/${PYTHON_VERSION} \
+    --enable-shared \
+    --enable-optimizations \
+    --enable-ipv6 \
+    LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath=/opt/python/${PYTHON_VERSION}/lib,--disable-new-dtags
+make
+sudo make install
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+  Find out where the current python binary is at with
+</p>
+<pre>
+  which python3
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+  Navigate to the output, delete the symbolic links to the old version.  
+  Create new symbolic links to the newly installed version.  New version was installed
+  in <code>/opt/python/3.11.7</code>
+</p>
