[Tutor] Python3 Help
Hello! 1. I have Python3 installed on my 2017 MacBook Pro. I know that it is successfully installed because, when I enter “Python3’ into my terminal, I get the following message: Python 3.6.2 (v3.6.2:5fd33b5926, Jul 16 2017, 20:11:06) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 2. I’m trying to locate the directory path to where Python3 is located on my system, but when I enter the following command: $ type -a python3 I get: -bash: $: command not found My understanding is that the command should have provided me with the path to Python3 is located on my system. 3. How do I determine why I’m getting the ‘error’ command, instead of the directory location of Python3. I need the location in order to setup my Text Editor to execute Python3 commands. Thank you in advance.
