The document discusses installing Python 3.11 on a Raspberry Pi to address a compatibility issue between the required versions of Python, NumPy, and Matplotlib for a project, where the latest versions of NumPy and Matplotlib required Python 3.11 which was not available through standard repositories but could be installed using the "deadsnakes" function. It provides step-by-step instructions to add the deadsnakes PPA, update apt, and install Python 3.11, then verify the installation.

Your Raspberry Pi is now set up and ready for the next steps in the project.
In this project, we encountered a critical compatibility issue between the required
Python version, NumPy, and Matplotlib. The latest versions of NumPy and Matplotlib necessitated Python 3.11, which, at the time, wasn't readily available through the standard repositories. To address this compatibility challenge, we utilized the "deadsnakes" function, which allowed us to force the installation of a Python version that was compatible with both NumPy and Matplotlib
## Installation of Python 3.11
### Step-by-Step Python 3.11 Installation
Python 3.11 is a critical part of this project. Here's how to install it on your Raspberry Pi:
1. Open a terminal on your Raspberry Pi.
2. Run the following commands to install Python 3.11:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update sudo apt install python3.11
3. Verify the installation by checking the Python version:
