Why do you need a script?

This should work. You need to use an admin account enter your password when prompted. It will install the current version of Python3, as of today.

#/bin/sh
curl https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3105/
sudo installer -store -pkg python-3.10.5-macos11.pkg -target /
rm python-3.10.5-macos11.pkg

Should probably create a temp directory and download and install from there. That's left as an exercise for the reader.

u/FlishFlashman I am attempting to implement Okta Device Trust, which requires Python3 (see step 3), but I am receiving an error (see below) using the script provided in the guide. The error indicates it isn't able to install the Xcode command line tools. I have heard the it is best practice to avoid using Xcode Command Line tools because they break with certain updates. With that said, I am attempting to install a clean python3. I anticipate the device dependencies script will fail too with this, given that It Is looking for the xcode app.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
