I downloaded pycharm and python 3.8, but everytime I try to pip install it goes to some hidden opt/ directory. When i type python --version in the terminal, it says 2.7. I suppose I need to get better with the command line but not sure what to do.

I'd GREATLY appreciate any help on this. Been browsing similar questions for hours and nothing helps.

  • In Python 3.8 pip is your dependency manager, so you should be able to use pip commands. See the following existing post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/122327/how-do-i-find-the-location-of-my-python-site-packages-directory. – Jairus Apr 30 '20 at 23:49
  • You may have version 2.7 and 3.8 installed. Pycharm has the ability to select the version, see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-python-interpreter.html. – Jairus Apr 30 '20 at 23:51

I think Pycharm by default uses a virtual environment with new projects. Have you tried using the terminal in Pycharm itself? Also, check your installations, you may have multiple Python installations causing the issue.
