When I go to my terminal and type in "python" or "python --version" I get back "command not found: python" I have the newest version downloaded but not even version 2 isn't showing up. What do I do? I even just factory reset my mac. I'm running the M1 mini

Python is no more preinstalled since MacOS 12.3 You'll have to install yourself. Did you install it ?
Here is the notice in MacOS 11.6
WARNING: Python 2.7 is not recommended.
This version is included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software.
Future versions of macOS will not include Python 2.7.
Instead, it is recommended that you transition to using 'python3' from within Terminal.

Just download version 3.10. What do I need to do to show up in the terminal so start downloading pip? And thanks for getting back to me.

You already have python on your system as python3.

Yes, but I'm trying to get it to show up in my terminal.

Python is preinstalled as version python3. This was mentioned a while back that version 2 was upgrade to 3.

Add a CommentAlso, my terminal did once read I had Python version 2.7 now nothing
Before updating macOS 12.4 version, I was using older version 11.6 with this version python 2.7 was pre installed and you cannot delete it because it was mandatory and installed by Apple developer. When I updated my macOS to newer version 12.4 and I double checked on my terminal window it's not showing any python version as pre installed. I wanna know more about this. Is it safe to use?
