#### Prefix auto-resolution
Pyenv automatically resolves full prefixes to the latest version in the corresponding version line.
E.g. to install the latest 3.10 release:
All Pyenv subcommands except `uninstall` automatically resolve full prefixes to the latest version in the corresponding version line.
`pyenv install` picks the latest known version while other subcommands -- the latest installed version.
E.g. to install and then switch to the latest 3.10 release:
```sh
pyenv install 3.10
pyenv global 3.10
```
The same happens whenever Pyenv selects a version to use.
Installation selects the latest version known to Pyenv
while switching -- the latest installed version.
You can run [`pyenv latest <prefix>`](COMMANDS.md#pyenv-latest) to see
what a specific prefix would be resolved to.
See the [`pyenv latest` documentation](COMMANDS.md#pyenv-latest) for details on the resolution process.
See the [`pyenv latest` documentation](COMMANDS.md#pyenv-latest) for details.
