It's recommended to use the latest Python versions.

RHEL 8 in particular ships with Python 3.6 by default which is EOL and therefore no longer supported by Synapse. RHEL 9 ship with Python 3.9 which is still supported by the Python core team as of this writing. However, newer Python versions provide significant performance improvements and they're available in official distributions' repositories. Therefore it's recommended to use them.

Python 3.11 and 3.12 are available for both RHEL 8 and 9.

These commands should be run as root user.

RHEL 8
```bash
# Enable PowerTools repository
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
```
RHEL 9
```bash
# Enable CodeReady Linux Builder repository
crb enable
```

Install new version of Python. You only need one of these:
```bash
# Python 3.11
