Installing Python

Managing python environments can be tricky, even for experienced developers. One easy tool to do so is pyenv. Here's how you can use a python 3.8 environment in your tethics-bot directory:

1. Install pyenv (see pyenv installer) curl https://pyenv.run | bash

1.5.

2. Install the latest version of python 3.8 using pyenv pyenv install 3.8.6

3. Use this version locally in your tethics-bot project (Note: make sure you're in the tethics-bot directory) pyenv local 3.8.6

3b. Alternatively, if you want 3.8.6 to be your global version of python: pyenv global 3.8.6
