Installing multiple versions
Installing Multiple Versions
----------------------------

On Unix and Mac systems if you intend to install multiple versions of Python
On Unix and macOS systems, if you intend to install multiple versions of Python
using the same installation prefix (``--prefix`` argument to the configure
script) you must take care that your primary python executable is not
script), you must take care that your primary python executable is not
overwritten by the installation of a different version. All files and
directories installed using ``make altinstall`` contain the major and minor
version and can thus live side-by-side. ``make install`` also creates
``${prefix}/bin/python3`` which refers to ``${prefix}/bin/python3.X``. If you
intend to install multiple versions using the same prefix you must decide which
``${prefix}/bin/python3`` which refers to ``${prefix}/bin/python3.X``.
If you intend to install multiple versions using the same prefix, you must decide which
version (if any) is your "primary" version. Install that version using
``make install``. Install all other versions using ``make altinstall``.
