Downloaded 3.8 but terminal is showing as 2.7 and unable to download Python Flask

Question

I already downloaded Python 3.8 onto my iOS macbook computer. My terminal is showing me instead that i have 2.7 install instead.

Version here

Another problem was when downloading python flask, i've gotten this error many times.

Flask Download error.

Im trying to use python flask on version 3.8 but it keeps registering as 2.7. any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You need to call python3. python defaults to version 2.

You can alias python to python3
