Solution

  • Not sure where you put the unzipped python directory, but unless you added that directory is in your path you will need to run it like this from current directory

    ./python3
# or
./python3.8

    Or add the unzipped directory to path.

    # for current session only
export PATH=$PATH:/your/unzipped/python/dir
# to add permanently
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/your/unzipped/python/dir' >> ~/.bashrc
# or ~/.bash_profile
