Mac comes with Python2.7.
For a project, I need to use Python3.7.5. I installed it.
However, if I just type python in terminal, the 2.7 interpreter starts.
How do I make it so that when I type python, it opens 3.7.5 interpreter?

Best Answer
Type
python3
and you will be running the new version. How you install can vary a bit, but on the current macOS you don’t need to install anything as the stub exists. On any older os I recommend installing https://brew.sh as it has a very friendly on boarding and helps you set your PATH properly to run the v3 of python.A shell alias is an easy way to fix this permanently.
