How to install specific python version (Termux)

Question

I am trying to install a specific version of python using termux (python 3.5) but it is downloading the latest version (Python 3.7.2-1) instead. Is there any way to specify what version to install?

The command I am using is very straightforward, but I haven't found any way to specify version anywhere

pkg install python

Answer 1

To do what you intend...you can use the following command..

1. First Make Sure that the package version you need to install exists... Use:

apt-cache madison [packagename]

2. If the package version you're trying to install exists, simply run:

apt-get install [packagename]=[DesiredVersion]
