1. Check the current Python version by running the command:
>python --version

This command will display the version of Python currently installed on your system.

2. Install Python 3 by running the command:
>sudo yum install python3

This will install the latest version of Python 3 available in the CentOS repository.

3. Check the installed Python 3 version by running the command:
>python3 --version

This command will display the version of Python 3 you just installed.

4. Change the symbolic link for /usr/bin/python to point to the newly installed Python 3 by running the command:
>sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

This will set Python 3 as the default version when you run the python command.

5. Verify that Python 3 is the default version by running the command:
>python --version

This command should now display the version of Python 3 you just installed.

6. Update any packages that depend on Python by running the command:
>sudo yum update
