The Windows installation for Python3 does not add to Path
for some reason so doing this manually will help with calling python
as python3
and not python2
.
That is if python2
is already installed on the system.
I used most of this guide to get Python3 installed on my system: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-install-python-3-windows
I had an issue where on the command line, typing python
would use Python2 instead of Python3.
The python installer for Windows installs python3 by default in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32
instead of directly on the C:
drive.
