Okay, so I have the following issue. I have a Mac, so the the default Python 2.7 is installed for the OS's use. However, I also have Python 3.6 installed, and I want to install a package using Pip that is only compatible with python version 3. How can I install a package with Python 3 and not 2?

Why do you ask such a thing here?

4.3. Installing Additional Python Packages There are several methods to install additional Python packages:

Packages can be installed via the standard Python distutils mode (python setup.py install). Many packages can also be installed via the setuptools extension or pip wrapper, see https://pip.pypa.io/.

Installing Packages pip supports installing from PyPI, version control, local projects, and directly from distribution files.

The most common scenario is to install from PyPI using Requirement Specifiers

$ pip install SomePackage # latest version $ pip install SomePackage==1.0.4 # specific version $ pip install 'SomePackage>=1.0.4' # minimum version For more information and examples, see the pip install reference.

Just a suggestion, before you run any command that you don't know what is it, please use which your_cmd or whereis your_cmd to find its path.
