Python 3 installation exits without installing zlib and pip. How can I fix this?

edit 2: I cannot use sudo.

edit:

I followed this guide. After running 'make' the installation exited with:

Python build finished successfully!
The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:
_bz2 _curses _curses_panel 
_dbm _gdbm _lzma 
_sqlite3 _ssl _tkinter 
readline zlib 
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.'

zlib is needed to complete the installation.

Regarding edit2:
You may try with RPM. Download the zlib-devel rpm and then run rpm -ivh package.rpm

To install it on CentOS:
sudo yum install zlib-devel

Then run the make command again.

You can try the below; make altinstallto try to get around any sudo permission needed to replace the default python binary file in /usr/bin/python

yum install gcc
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.0/Python-3.7.0a1.tgz
tar xzf Python-3.7.0a1.tgz
cd Python-3.7.0a1
./configure
make altinstall
