I would like to change my PATH
from Python 2.6.1
to 3.1.2
. I have both versions installed on my computer, but when I type python --version
in the terminal I get Python 2.6.1
. So, thats the current version it's "pointing" to. Now if I type python3.1
it loads the version I want to use, although the PATH
is still pointing to 2.6.1
. Downloaded along with the Python 3.1 package comes an Update Shell Profile.command
- when I run it and then run nano ~/.bash_profile
it says:
Setting PATH for Python 3.1 the orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:${PATH}" export PATH.
Does this mean that I have changed the PATH
, or does it just giving me instructions how to?
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
This will append the Python directory to the path.
If this is part of ~/.bash_profile
, this will append the Python path on each startup.
try the below lines
cd /usr/local/bin
cp python3.7 python
Then restart terminal
For those using a .zsh terminal instead of .bash, you might need to update your PATH using the command:
nano .zsh
Then update your PATH with the export command.
