I have python 3 installed on my mac. I have installed packages via python3 pip install up until now, but if I try to use pip install I'm getting pip not found error. How do I resolve this?

p.s: I just want to install packages via pip install and not python3 -m pip install.

You can set alias in your ~/.bash_profile and try

alias pip=pip3
#or
alias pip=python3 pip

I have found in the end that this is the right way to do it:

https://opensource.com/article/19/5/python-3-default-mac

The actions to take in order to achieve this it's easy. Take the first 3 steps from the blog.

After that you can install any of versions available from this list, using this command to show it: pyenv install -l

Why you should do this way requires you to read the entire post.

Change alias in your terminal profile file

if you use bash goto ~/.bashrc file and

alias pip=pip3

if you use zsh goto ~/.zshrc file and do the same

or use :
