### 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 ### 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
