How to upgrade python version on Ubuntu

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 14.0.4. In my system I have installed Anaconda with python 2.7.14. Now I want to upgrade my python version & would like to use Python 3.6.3. So I followed the steps mentioned in below link

Update python on linux 2.7 to 3.5

But after doing this my python --version command is showing python 2.7.14. Can you suggest me how to upgrade?

Have you seen the answers here? (won't mark as duplicate, because the other question seemed to be about some weird operating system built around so-called "windows" (colored rectangles that aren't good for anything except getting in the way of each other)). — Andrey Tyukin

It's a little bit tricky with Anaconda.

You need to do this within your Anaconda environment:

conda install python=3.6.3
