`alt-python` versions are installed alongside the system default. To use a specific version:
89+
Check that the binary exists and returns the expected version:
90+
91+
```text
92+
/opt/alt/<python-version>/bin/python3 -V
93+
```
94+
95+
Optionally, verify execution:
96+
97+
```text
98+
/opt/alt/<python-version>/bin/python3 -c "print('Hello, World!')"
99+
```
100+
101+
To use this version as default in the current shell:
102+
103+
```text
104+
export PATH=/opt/alt/<python-version>/bin:$PATH
105+
python3 -V
106+
which python3
