I am trying to use Django on mac to develop a website backend using python.

I installed Django 3.1.5 and when I try to upgrade (to 3.1.5) it says 'requirement already satisfied' so I can tell 3.1.5 is installed

However when I type python -m django --version into terminal, it returns 1.11.29

How do I fix this?

You should install it with `pip3` (the package manager for `Python3`), and thus run it with `python3 -m django --version`. – Willem Van Onsem Jan 07 '21 at 23:16
Okay thank you that worked – icantcode Jan 07 '21 at 23:17
I think you can alter the symbolic link of `python`, and let it point to `python3` instead of `python2`: https://stackoverflow.com/q/18425379/67579 – Willem Van Onsem Jan 07 '21 at 23:18
Thank you a lot! – icantcode Jan 07 '21 at 23:20
