Python 3 with venv and pipx

Installs Python 3, virtual environments and pipx for installing Python command-line tools safely.

Runs on

  • Debian / Ubuntu: supported
  • RHEL / Fedora: supported
  • Alpine: supported

What it changes on your server

  • Installs python3, pip, the venv module and pipx from your distribution.
  • Uses EPEL for pipx on RHEL-compatible systems.

What Shellbay asks you

Nothing. This workflow needs no details from you.

Steps

  1. Prepare packages
  2. Install Python
  3. Check Python and venv work

Shellbay checks the server before the first step, and stops at the first step that fails.

When it's done

  • Create an environment per project with python3 -m venv .venv, and install tools with pipx install <name>.
