====== Install Python 3 on CentOS 7 ======

===== Update your system =====

This step //may// not be required.  I didn't have to do this when I updated my host machine.

<code bash>
yum -y update

yum group install "Development tools"
</code>

===== EPEL Packages =====

Add the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository to your system:

<code bash>
yum install epel-release
</code>

===== Python 3 and Pip =====

Finally, install Python 3 and the Pip package manager:

<code bash>
yum install python34

yum install python34-pip
</code>

If the Python version is incorrect, you can locate the available version with a Yum search, as follows:

<code bash>
yum search python3
</code>
