Adding on @Selcuk 's answer, you can define which python version runs pip:

For example:

/path/to/python3.9/python -m pip install mypackage

This would install mypackage for the python version you referenced to.

Another suggestion is to use Conda, which handles different python versions pretty effectively.

Some Python distributions may not come with pip installed. Try

python3.9 -m ensurepip

to install pip for your interpreter first.
