Python 3.7.4 downloaded from official site but I get python 2.7.10 installed instead

Question

I downloaded the python installation file from:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-374/

But when I install it and in console check python version I get 2.7.10 version instead of 3.7.4. I don't know why is that. I am new to python.

Do you have any ideas why I get version 2.7.10 instead of 3.7.4?

I use Macbook with OSX High Sierra version 10.13.6.

I already tried to reinstall python by downloading this file from this website:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-374/

But when I installed it again I still get 2.7.10 version instead of 3.7.4.

I only used python -V in the console and get 2.7.10 version response.

I expected version 3.7.4 to be installed. Instead of this, I get 2.7.10. I don't know why is that.

You probably have both versions installed. Type python3 -V
