Running latest Python version on the Terminal (MAC) - Damian - Mar-20-2021
Hi all,
on my Terminal on Mac I've got Python 2.7.16.
(I had an issue: if I do 5 / 2 on Python 2.7.16 it returns 2 while Python on Repl returns 2.5)
I'd like to update it to the latest version and therefore solve this issue.
So, I downloaded the latest version.
I followed the installation process and everything was smooth.
But when I run "python" again on the Terminal I still see Python 2.7.16.
How can I run the latest Python version on my Terminal?

Try to run "python3". Does that work?

Amazing, it works :)
I was running "python" on the Terminal.
If I run "python3" it works.
Thanks a lot :)
