To update Python and Pip to their latest versions, follow the steps below. Keep in mind that these instructions might vary slightly depending on your operating system.
Updating Python:
Before updating Python, check your current Python version using the following command:
python --version
If you’re using Python 2.x, it’s strongly recommended to switch to Python 3.x, as Python 2 is no longer supported. If you’re using a version of Python 3.x that’s older than the latest release, you should update as well.
For Windows:
Visit the official Python website (https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) and download the latest installer for Windows. Run the installer and make sure to select the option to “Add Python x.x to PATH” during installation.
For macOS and Linux:
Python 3.x usually comes pre-installed on macOS and many Linux distributions. To update, use the package manager appropriate for your system.
For macOS with Homebrew:
brew update
brew upgrade python
For Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade python3
