Hi,

Absolute beginner here. Trying to install pyenv so I can then install Python on my Pixelbook but keep getting the above error.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

You simply have a previous installation already, if you need to reinstall just run this command before the installation command: rm -rf ~/.pyenv

Also after install don't forget to read the output you receive it contains some lines to paste into .bashrc file to make the pyenv command available in your system!

Hello, absolute beginner trying to install Python version 3.8.13. I installed Python but it was the latest version. I need 3.8.13 for a course. When I try to install that version it says it is not found. Can anyone help me by recommending anything.
Thank you.

You should try pyenv install 3.8.13 After that, you can try pyenv global 3.8.13, and that should allow you to run the version you want!
