use python3.7 as default
Simple solution is edit .bashrc and put this line: alias python3=python3.7 Whenever you will write python3 it will replace it with python3.7. Or you can use command update-alternatives which is preferred i.e: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.6 1 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.7 2 So here python3.7 will have higher priority then python3.6. Then use: sudo update-alternatives --config python3 Press the enter key if you are satisfied
