I need glibc2.26 for a project and I got to where I need to use sudo make install to install it. I am getting permission denied and looks like I can't get sudo. Is there a workaround to be able to install this? I can't do it without atleast glib2.25 and I believe pa is on 2.23

You don't have root access in PythonAnywhere, you can however compile the package in your home directory, if you know how to do it.

The folder is in my home directory /home/samwins/glibc-2.26. How can I compile this in the home directory?

If you do not know how to do that, do not take that route as it is very complicated, and we will not be able to assist you.
