Step 3: Build and Install uWSGI

Once you have downloaded the source code, navigate to the uwsgi directory and build and install uWSGI:

cd uwsgi
make
sudo make install

This will compile the source code and install the uWSGI binary to /usr/local/bin/uwsgi.

Step 4: Verify Installation

To verify that uWSGI has been properly installed, you can check the version number:

uwsgi --version

This should output the version number of uWSGI that you just installed.
