Install program from .deb file, using incorrect python version

Question

I'm trying to install a program from a .deb file on Linux mint, but getting an error at installation as the program requires python >=3.5 (I have 3.4.0 as default). I've installed 3.6.0 but the defualt version appears first in the path (I don't think I want to change this?) so installation still fails.

I've tried to change the local python to 3.6.0 using pyenv, but it still only recognises the default 3.4.0 version. Any ideas what to try?

You can use ppa:fkrull to install python3.5.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update; 
sudo apt-get install python3.5
