Using Fossapup64-95.
I recently downloaded and updated some Python packages and was slightly unsure as to where they should be installed.
Here is an example downloading/installing Gdown ..... requirements Python 3.8
I can check to see that the package has been installed successfully via terminal
Code: Select all
pip list > installed_packages.txt
However, if I ask which version is installed it informs me that it is an older build
Is the reason for this is that there is no Pip configuration file?
I profess, I do not know the inner workings of how this is selected.
So, I set a configuration file via terminal:
Code: Select all
pip config set global.target /usr/local/lib/Python/3.8/dist-packages
This creates a directory in /root named pip
I ran the command again but it still reports the same 
I do know that using the pip3 command will install in the Python 2 directory instead of the default one.
