+## Use uv to install a custom Python version
+
+If you want to use a different Python version than your Linux distribution provides, you can use [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) to set it up. Note that this will only work for the Gunicorn setup. First install `uv`:
+
+```bash
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+Then you can create a virtual environment with the desired Python version using, e.g.:
+
+```bash
+uv venv env --seed --python 3.12
+```

+If the Python version on your system is no longer supported by RDMO, we strongly recommend that you upgrade your Linux distribution, as it is likely to be out of date. If you decide otherwise, it is relatively easy to install a different Python version using [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv). Instructions can be found [here](../advanced/index).
