Python help with installing flask

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.

The --user option (and others) can be found in the answer here. Try:

python -m pip install --user Flask

Thanks 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
