Thanks! I needed Python3.5 on my Linux Mint 20.1 but it just comes with 3.8 and 3.9
Since I also needed the libpython3.5m.so.1.0 file, I had to
sudo ./configure –enable-shared –enable-optimizations
How to install virtual environment for newly installed python3.5. My goal is to install TensorFlow using Python3.5 not with the default Python3.8
Do i have to specify Python3.5 instead of Python3? Because in Ubuntu 20.04 Python3 indicate to default Python3.8.
sudo apt install -y python3.5-venv
python3.5 -m venv my_env
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thank you so much!
