If you want the “old” system python, run: pyenv global system This switches your python to point to 3.7.4. Now, you can choose your Python version: pyenv global 3.7.4

Choose which Python version you want to use for a given directory, or globallyįor example, to install 3.7, check which versions are available: pyenv install -l | grep 3.7.

That way you don't risk yourself messing around with system-level frameworks (and hence creating a problem removing dependencies etc.). Instead, use a user-level Python distribution installed via pyenv. Here's my number one tip: Do not use sudo with pip. When I try to upgrade pip I'm getting above errors

While I was installing it asked me to upgrade pip.
