By default python on mostly ubuntu, there is python 2. We need to use python3 to run the python files with the latest version.
After research, I am come up with an easy solution to set python3 as a default on the ubuntu system.
Steps to Set Python3 as Default On ubuntu?
- Check python version on terminal -
python --version
- Get root user privileges. On terminal type -
sudo su
- Write down the root user password.
- Execute this command to switch to python 3.6.
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1
- Check python version -
python --version
- All Done!
