Need to download Python 3.8 (oneAPI 2021.4)

[ActionPace]

I see the 2022.1.0 Release for Python is available at the following link: 

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/oneapi-standalone-components.html#python

Where a script can be downloaded for Linux

https://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/18720/l_pythoni39_oneapi_p_2022.1.0.214.sh

I searched everywhere but I don't see how to get to download scripts for older releases.

According to the release notes at:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/release-notes/distribution-for-python-release-notes.html

To get Python 3.8 it appears I could try to get Intel® oneAPI 2021.4

But HOW do I get at the older install shell script for Linux?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi, 

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

For installation of python 3.8, please run the below command

Command : conda create -n idp intelpython3_core python=3.8

Note: Here python 3.8 version will get installed in the conda environment <idp>. It is recommended that you create a new conda environment for the installation by replacing idp with the new environment name in the above command

After installation, please make sure to activate the environment using the below command.

Command : source activate idp

For further reference please refer the below link.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I hadn't been planning to use conda (Anaconda or Miniconda) in my setups, since the original download (of 3.9) didn't require conda that I am aware of, but if it's the only way to do it, then that's what I can plan in my future builds.

Hi,

The latest release for python supports only v3.9. To install previous version of Python, you will have to use conda. 

Otherwise, to install an older version, you need a license serial number. You must purchase a license if you do not have one. Follow the below steps to learn more:

• Access the Registration Center(https://registrationcenter.intel.com/en/products/) and follow the instructions below.
• Select the product
• Select the OS
• Specify the required version and click download. 

Please let us know if this resolves your issue.
