I am new to linux so I'm only just familiar with installing via the terminal. I currently have python 2.7.12 installed and I am trying to update it to python3 via the command
sudo apt-get install python3
however when i type in this command i am presented with 4 options
0 to upgrade
0 to newly install
0 to remove
5 to not upgrade
as you can see this is a problem and it doesn't recognize any commands i put in. I tried both 0 and 5 and they are both not found.

This suggests that you already have Python3 installed.You can usesynapticorsudo apt show python3to check its installation status.

There should also be a way to either use a verbose output and/or log file which contains the reason something wasn't updated. Can you provide that information?

You likely have Python v3 already installed. Try:
dpkg -l python3
You'll likely get something like this, which means python3 is already installed.

On Ubuntu, the default Python is Python 2.7. If you want Python v3, use the python3 command (or use python3 in the script's shebang). Do not replace python by Python v3 since too many systems scripts assume Python 2.7.
