I have python3.6 installed on CentOS Linux release 8.3

[fnord@fnord fnord]$ ls -ls /usr/bin/python*
 0 lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    9 Aug 31  2020 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7
12 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 8224 Aug 31  2020 /usr/bin/python2.7
 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   25 Jun 24  2020 /usr/bin/python3 -> /etc/alternatives/python3

 0 lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   32 Mar 16  2021 /usr/bin/python3-config -> /etc/alternatives/python3-config
[fnord@fnord fnord]$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.8
[fnord@fnord fnord]$cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011

How would I install python3.7, python3.8,... on the same system?

    Does this answer your question? [What is the proper way to manage multiple python versions?](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/556519/260833) – Artem S. Tashkinov Oct 25 '21 at 15:26

Python 3.8 and 3.9 are available in the default repositories just install the python38 or python39 package.

If you need different versions, check the Python virtual environment answer Artem linked in the comments.
