I installed brew, python3 (default and latest version) and pip3, pyenv.
TensorFlow does not support python3.7 now, so I heard that I should make a virtualenv that runs 3.6 or lower version independently.
I installed python 3.6.7 by pyenv install 3.6.7
but can't make virtualenv -p 3.6.7 (mydir)
because 3.6.7 is not in the PATH
(usr/local/bin
).
How can I update my PATH
?
You don't need the executable to be on the PATH. Assuming you want /usr/local/bin/python3.6.7
to be used in the virtual environment,
virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.6.7 mydir
With pyenv
specifically, you could also do
/Users/you/.pyenv/versions/3.6.7/bin/python -m venv mydir
Updating your PATH
is easy:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
This will only update it in your current session; you might want to add this to your shell's startup files to make it permanent. This is a common FAQ but depends on a number of factors (your shell, etc) so google for details.
