 You can install python using various ways.
 
+### Installation From Package Managers
+
+Using various [package managers](/wiki/linux/package_manager.md) the current python version can be
+easily installed.
+Additionally an [pyenv](#pyenv-installation), [uv](#uv-installation) or [manual installation](#manual-installation) can be
+done to get a specific older versions for projects.
+
+### uv Installation
+
+[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) is a python package and project manager.
+It can manage python versions.
+
+Versions can be installed and set for the current directory and subdirectories as shown in the
+following commands where `<python-version>` is the python version.
+
+```sh
+uv python install <python-version>
+uv python pin <python-version>
+```
+
+uv can also be used to manage [virtual environments](#uv-virtual-environments).

 ### Using Virtual Environments
 
+There are various options to use virtual environments.
+The first and most commonly used option is [venv](#venv-virtual-environments).
+A more modern and arguably better approach is using [uv](#uv-virtual-environments).
+
+#### uv Virtual Environments
+
+Since uv is a project-based tool the following command has to be used to create a project where
+`<path>` is the path to the project directory.
+If it is omitted the project will be created in the current working directory.
+
+```sh 
+uv init <path>
+```
+
+Additionally this command can be expanded with flags.
+To create the most basic form of a project without a `README.md` the `--bare` flag can be used.
+
+To use uv as a virtual environment similar to venv the following command can be invoked inside a
+project directory.
+It will create a `.venv` directory containing the `bin/activate` file.
+
+```sh 
+uv venv
+```
+
+#### venv Virtual Environments
+
 [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) can be used to create a virtual environment.
