Issues downloading Python 3.10 on my Mac!
When I run python --version, terminal tells me Python 3.9.5
I have downloaded Python 3.10.2 via python.org, and installed, but still when I run in the terminal, I’m on Python 3.9.5. Any ideas?
You are running the python that ships with macOS.
The one you installed is in /usr/local/bin.
Make sure to add that to user PATH in your ~/.zprofile which the python installer usually does for you.
Did you start a new terminal after installing python? Maybe you are not running with the updated PATH?
In the past on Linux, I believe I simply deleted the miniconda folder. (Maybe move /opt/miniconda3/ somewhere else first to be safe and see how it runs after a reboot).
And one more thing …
Your % where python command suggests miniconda was prepended to your PATH. To clean that up, you’d have to search where miniconda added itself to your PATH and comment it out, e.g. whatever ~/.bashrc-equivalent file is on Mac (maybe ~/.zprofile?)
