How to install pyenv

Pyenv is a developer utility. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Pyenv is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The maintainers own the project. They choose release timing, publish announcements, and write the documentation themselves. Nothing about that process is controlled from here.

Where the project comes from

Projects of this kind are usually reached through the operating system's package index, through a language-specific registry, or by building the published source tree. Which route applies depends on the platform and on the maintainers' own guidance.

Platform requirements

Check platform requirements first. Recent releases usually need a current runtime and a reasonably modern system.

Checking the result

Verifying afterwards is straightforward. If something behaves unexpectedly, check for an older copy earlier in the path, or for a version manager pointing elsewhere.
