Unable to install

[Rustypaterson]

Hi Everyone

Can someone please assist me, i'm not 100% up with using command line, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I'm trying to install and run neural-candle and devol, but I can not get past "pip install -e path/to/repo" section. I presume it's because my ubuntu 18.04 is running on python 2.7

The below is what I get in response when running the pip:-

**~$ pip install -e C:\Users\Rusty\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\gekkotrading1\devol\setup.py
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7. More details about Python 2 support in pip, can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: C:UsersRustyAppDataLocalPackagesCanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgscLocalStaterootfshomegekkotrading1devolsetup.py is not a valid editable requirement. It should either be a path to a local project or a VCS URL (beginning with svn+, git+, hg+, or bzr+).**

Obvisously, python 2.7 can't do the install, so I've tried to update/install python 3.7.7, which was successful, however, python 2.7 is still "there"

`gekkotrading1@DESKTOP-TSHOKSQ:~$ which python
/usr/bin/python
gekkotrading1@DESKTOP-TSHOKSQ:~$ python --version
Python 2.7.17`

below is to show python 3.7.7 is installed or "there"

gekkotrading1@DESKTOP-TSHOKSQ:~$ python --version
Python 2.7.17
gekkotrading1@DESKTOP-TSHOKSQ:~$ which python
/usr/bin/python
gekkotrading1@DESKTOP-TSHOKSQ:~$ python --version

I've tried to uninstall python 2.7, purge python 2.7, everything was successful, but when I type python --version it keeps saying python 2.7.17

Anyone got any advise?

Regards
