Analog to managing python versions, `pipenv` can manage pip and package versions.

### Manual Installation
This section is based on a guide by [Linuxize](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-python-3-9-on-ubuntu-20-04/).
On [Linux-based systems](/wiki/linux.md) Python can be easily installed using make.
The following shows a process of installing Python 3.9.1.
When another Python version is needed the version number has to be adapted accordingly.
First make sure all the dependencies are installed.
On a [Ubuntu](/wiki/linux.md#distributions) system or other systems using the apt
[package manager](/wiki/linux/package_manager.md) this can look like the following
```sh
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev wget libbz2-dev
```
Afterwards the python source code can be downloaded.
```sh
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.1/Python-3.9.1.tgz
tar -xf Python-3.9.1.tgz
cd Python-3.9.1
```
Afterwards if OpenSSL should be enabled for Python uncomment all the corresponding lines in
`Modules/Setup`.
Then proceed with the installation.
```sh
./configure --enable-optimizations
make
sudo make altinstall
```
Afterwards you can check if the Pyhton version is installed using the following command.
```sh
python3.9 --version
```
