Pip installs files to the old version of Python (Pip, Pandas, Python, Mac)

I just started learning about Python (on macOS Mojave). I downloaded the latest version of Python and wanted to download software libraries like pandas.

So firstly I downloaded pip like that: sudo easy_install pip

Then I installed pandas using pip, however pandas location is: Requirement already satisfied: pandas in ./Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages (0.24.2)

However, my Pythons location is: Location of Python 3.8.2: '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3'

Also when I try importing pandas in the python command I get this: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'

Therefore, it seems that pip has installed pandas to the old version of Python. How can I fix that? Or is that even the problem? Again I am totally new to this and I don't come from a cs background. Please help.

You might have both pip and pip3 installed, where the first is used for python 2.7 and the second for python 3.8.2

pip3 install pandas

You need to add pip to your terminal's commands. In the meantime, you could do this:

python -m pip install pandas

Note that that will only work if when you run python -V, you get python 3.8.2.
