Setup Python3.7 on Ubuntu

I often use a Google Cloud VM to for my projects. Depending on the type of the machine, it may or may not come with a preinstalled version of Python 3. Here’s a simple snippet that I put together from multiple sources to install Python and configure pip on the environment.

sudo apt update

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.7
sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev
sudo apt-get install python3.7-venv
sudo apt install python3-pip
