问题
I am having trouble with my current python, so I wanted to uninstall my python and install the latest version. I installed with homebrew, so I uninstalled it with homebrew and reinstalled python 3.8.1 with the installer from the official site. Python3.8 was installed, but my python3 was not upgraded.
~ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
~ python3 --version
Python 3.7.3
I know I'm not supposed to(and I can't) manually delete things inside /usr/bin
. What am I supposed to do?
回答1:
When you installed Python with homebrew it told you this:
Unversioned symlinks
python
,python-config
,pip
etc. pointing topython3
,python3-config
,pip3
etc., respectively, have been installed into /usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin
If you need a reminder, post install, you will get the same message if you run:
brew info python
It says "unversioned links are in /usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin
". That means, if you want to run Python without specifying the version, i.e. if you want to type this:
python
and this:
pip
to start Python 3 and its corresponding pip
, you need to make sure your PATH
has /usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin
at the start, i.e.
export PATH=/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH
