I built Python 3.11 from source (from GitHub python/cpython branch "3.11").

Here is what I did (after downloading the repo as ZIP)

cd Downloads
7z x cpython-3.11.zip
cd cpython-3.11
chmod +x configure
./configure
make

Everything is okay, but I can run Python 3.11 only in the cpython-3.11 directory because it is not added to $PATH. And here is the problem.

What I tried :

1. Rename the file ~/cpython-3.11/python to ~/cpython-3.11/python3.11
2. Open the .bashrc file located in /home/[username]/
3. Added that line of code at the end:

   export PATH="/home/hg/cpython-3.11/python3.11:$PATH
   

   (Note that my user name is hg, cf. HGStyle).

So I restarted my terminal and it does not work. Can someone help please ?

• I tried to do the same thing on the .profile file but it still does not work.
• I tried to remove the quote marks but it still does not work.
