  • You don't need to change/replace the existing one. You can have 2 versions of python installed, and leave the default system one alone. Then just make sure to use the correct `python3` and `pip` when installing packages and running your app. – Gino Mempin Nov 19 '22 at 08:15

    No, **you don't want to do that**. You shouldn't be removing system built-ins, like the system pre-installed Python, because the system itself is using it. Like I said, just install a separate one for your project. I have 4 versions right now aside from the default python3. – Gino Mempin Nov 19 '22 at 08:58
