By default python on mostly ubuntu, there is python 2. We need to use python3 to run the python files with the latest version.

After research, I am come up with an easy solution to set python3 as a default on the ubuntu system.

Steps to Set Python3 as Default On ubuntu?

• Check python version on terminal - python --version
• Get root user privileges. On terminal type - sudo su
• Write down the root user password.
• Execute this command to switch to python 3.6. update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1
• Check python version - python --version
• All Done!
