Hi everyone! I'm trying to move forward and start practicing what I've been learned already in the Python track. I've already install the pip, but when I try to instal Flask, I've got this message. Any help? I have python 3
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/itsdangerous-1.1.0.dist-info'
Consider using the --user
option or check the permissions.

8,423 PointsThanks a lot Kris! It works, but I don't know why I have python 2, even that I installed the python 3. I didn't see this in the course, I don't know how to run python 3 with the flask framework and start trying to put in practice with the things I've learned
I saw some videos that they developing on vs code, but I cannot run the python 3
