How to link home brew python version and set it as default
After installing python3 with brew install python3
I was getting the error:
Error: An unexpected error occurred during the `brew link` stepThe formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/localPermission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/FrameworksError: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks
After typing brew link python3
the error was:
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.6.4_3... Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks
To solve the problem:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Frameworkssudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/*brew link python3
After this, I could open python3 by typing python3
