Python 3.8 + Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: Available via deadsnakes PPA; EOL

Python 3.8 + Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Python 3.8 is not in Ubuntu 24.04's default repositories (which ship Python 3.12). It can be installed via the deadsnakes PPA, but Python 3.8 reached EOL in October 2024. Installing EOL Python versions is a security risk. Use Python 3.12 (the default on Ubuntu 24.04) instead.

Workarounds & Fixes

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa && sudo apt install python3.8
Recommended: use the default Python 3.12 on Ubuntu 24.04
