Install instructions should say pip3 and python3 ?

Open BillDietrich opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

On my Linux Mint 19.1 system, I had to use pip3 and python3, not pip and python, when installing. Are the install instructions wrong, or does this vary from distro to distro ?

Hey @BillDietrich, Yep that's right, it varies based on the python and pip set up. There is a way to set the default py3 to use python and pip. For now one can use python3 and pip3 if they already have the commands working but this is a good suggestion, I'll revisit the instructions to avoid the confusion.

pip3 and python3 will works on every distro but python and pip can links to either pip2/pip3 python2/python3 depending on distros.
