Hi 
in the wiki I read about the provided venv package control, however, is it also possible to use pyenv or some other tool to specify local, project-specific python versions (python 3.8 in my project’s case)? Thanks! 
Hi Luise, welcome!
Indeed, this should work. These days I would probably go with conda for environment management though. Also as a word of warning: python 3.8 has now reached its end-of-life. It is likely that if you use it or software packaged for it, you’ll encounter bugs or limitations that were fixed in follow-up versions.
Let me also know if you have more specific questions.
Cheers

Thank you for the quick response, Anton! I tried installing brew as a first step (pyenv/conda are not installed yet). Since I am not on the sudoers list, I was prompted the following – I am very sorry, if I violated any rules here 
Hi Luise,
First of all, don’t worry about “this incident will be reported”: it’s a stern sounding message, which doesn’t actually mean anything, and it’s the default.
About what you’re trying to do:
- I think homebrew only works on OSX and not on Linux, so that won’t be an option.
- You indeed don’t have superuser permissions, and you won’t need them anyway.
- To install conda follow the instructions from GitHub - conda-forge/miniforge: A conda-forge distribution.
Cheers
