pip[3] command not found even though pip is installed

Question

I want to run this script:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

However, when I run it I get the error message

-bash: pip3: command not found

I have already installed brew and pip. When I run

pip3 -V

I get pip 19.0.3 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

Does anybody know why I am getting that error message?

If it helps, I am trying to run this program in the end

pip is for python2 version. pip3 is for python3 version you should install python3 interpreter for pip3 and provide in environment variables.

run this command, if you are woring on python3.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

from you error code it looks like you are running pip[3] , which is wrong.

for python2, you can run

pip install -r requirements.txt
