Today I tried to install Python 3.10.0 on macOS with the pkg.file form Python.org.
Afterwards when I checked the version in the terminal with Python --version It shows a previous version only, 3.8.8
When I run Python 3 from terminal it seems to run but I still don’t know why it’s now showing in the version.
Someone elsewhere suggested I run; ls -ls /usr/bin/python
the output is;
~ % ls -ls /usr/bin/python
0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75 Jan 1 2020 /usr/bin/python -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
Not sure what that means.
when I run whereis Python and go to the folder it can see multi different python files but not sure what I can and can’t delete.
What am I missing? I’ve installed homebew based on this link; How to Install Python 3 on Mac – Brew Install Update Tutorial but then I get the following error;
~ % pyenv install 3.10.0

The article says if I run into an error to reinstall xcode if it isn’t on yet but that’s 11gb and I’m not sure if it will fix whatever issue is causing it not to show when I check the version.
Any ideas?
