[Bug] Inconsistent Python & Pip Version Usage in MindsDB Docs

Open alissatroiano opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

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?
