[SOLVED] BUILD FAILED when trying to install Pyenv3 on OSX

Issue

So I've been trying to install Pyenv using Homebrew, but kept getting a failed build error and this message:

Inspect or clean up the working tree at /var/folders/bb/n2w9d9210qzg_y3_c4cm92tr0000gn/T/python-build.20220507224423.63876

I've included the last two lines of the log:

configure: error: Unexpected output of 'arch' on OSX
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Let me know if you need more info. Thank you.


Solution

Install pyenv:

brew install pyenv

For Python 3, let's install 3.10.4.

pyenv install 3.10.4

To see the list of the Python versions

pyenv versions
#Python 3.10.4

You can update to new version, and optionally uninstalling the old version by

pyenv install new.python.version

pyenv global new.python.version

pyenv uninstall old.python.version
