Besides its flexibility, Python is also a language that&#8217;s pretty easy for newcomers to pick up, which is why it&#8217;s one of the most favored programming languages. A function in Python is a block of code designed to perform a specific task, either using built-in functions or custom-made functions. Python has various built-in functions, such as print() to print output, len() to calculate the length of an object, sum() to add elements, and input() to accept user input. In this article, we&#8217;ll walk you through how to install Python on Ubuntu 26.04<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ea64ced8a29\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ea64ced8a29\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-python-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Installation-Prerequisites\" >Installation Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-python-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Step-1-Log-in-to-the-VPS-and-Update-the-System\" >Step 1.

Log in to the VPS and Update the System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, we need to log in to our Ubuntu 26.04 VPS through SSH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ssh master@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace &#8220;master&#8221; with a user that has sudo privileges or root if necessary. Additionally, replace &#8220;IP_Address&#8221; and &#8220;Port_Number&#8221; with your server&#8217;s respective IP address and SSH port number. Next, let&#8217;s make sure that we&#8217;re on Ubuntu 26.04. You can do that like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">$ lsb_release -a<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The command should return an output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">No LSB modules are available.<br>Distributor ID: Ubuntu<br>Description: Ubuntu Resolute Raccoon<br>Release: 26.04<br>Codename: resolute<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting, you have to make sure that all Ubuntu packages installed on the server are up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">$ sudo apt update -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-python\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-Python\"><\/span>Step 2.
