How do I upgrade CPanel, PHP, and MySQL, as well as install Python on a Linux server?

My friend is leasing his own server for the first time, and he has given me a reseller account. I would like to run a web host off of my reseller account, but the server does not have the latest version of CPanel, PHP, or MySQL, nor does it have Python installed.

I do not have admin access to the server, but my friend does. He told me that he would upgrade all of these things for me if I could find out how. So here I am!
If somebody could provide some kind of instructions…is it done through WHM?

Tell him he can perform the updates and installs from his WHM interface. Visit Cpanel.net for the manual.
There’s a bunch of articles on this. Look for any “cookbook” on LAMP (Linux + Apache + Mysql + (Perl | PHP | etc).
