I’m on windows, but I’m using a putty shell to connect to a linux machine, and want to install python 2.7. Can’t figure out how to do it. How can I download python from command line?

    wget --no-check-certificate https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.11/Python-2.7.11.tgz
tar -xzf Python-2.7.11.tgz  
cd Python-2.7.11

    Now read the README file to figure out how to install, or do the following with no guarantees from me that it will be exactly what you need.

    ./configure  
make  
sudo make install

    For Python 3.5 use the following download address:
    http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.1/Python-3.5.1.tgz

    For other versions and the most up to date download links:
