pyenv: Install a Python version under the `${PYENV_ROOT}/versions` directory.

The command "pyenv install ${2-7-10}" is used to install a specific version of Python using the pyenv tool.

Here's an explanation of each part:

  • pyenv: pyenv is a popular tool for managing multiple versions of Python on a single system. It allows you to easily switch between different Python versions and manage dependencies for different projects.

  • install: This is the command to install a specific version of Python using pyenv.

  • ${2-7-10}: This is a shell parameter substitution used to specify the version of Python to install.

    • The "2-7-10" represents the version number in the format of major-minor-patch.
    • The number 2 signifies the major version of Python (e.g., Python 2.x).
    • The number 7 represents the minor version (e.g., Python 2.7.x).
    • The number 10 represents the patch version (e.g., Python 2.7.10).

By using this command, you are instructing pyenv to install Python version 2.7.10 on your system.
