[Bug] Inconsistent Python & Pip Version Usage in MindsDB Docs
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
When I follow the instructions in https://docs.mindsdb.com/contribute/install/
, I am instructed to use python3
and python
to deploy MindsDB.

Expected Behavior
The docs read, " Before proceeding, make sure you have Git and Python 3.7.x or Python 3.8.x installed", but the second to last command reads: python setup.py develop
.. The docs also instruct the user to utilize the pip
command to install requirements.txt
, but pip3 is the official package manager and pip command for Python 3, so pip3
should be used here.

Steps To Reproduce
Replace the current instructions with the following:
Fork the MindsDB repository from GitHub.
Clone the fork locally:
git clone [email protected]:YOUR_USERNAME/mindsdb.git
Create a new virtual environment:
python3 -m venv mindsdb-venv
Activate the virtual environment:
source mindsdb-venv/bin/activate
Install dependencies:
cd mindsdb & pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Install MindsDB:
python3 setup.py develop
Start MindsDB:
`
python3 -m mindsdb
Anything else?

Remove the {3} from python{3}
