[Entry] Subject: [Term Entry] Pip

[jalcoding8]

Reason/inspiration (optional)

I have noticed that Codecademy has a number of Python related projects that start with the use of a Pip environment. (Onsite and Off Platform)
I have used Python2, Python3, and recently updated my MacBook to Python3.14.
When using Git (zsh) and attempting to follow Codecademy Projects steps involving pip/pip libraries for various
python of off-platform projects i encountered an initially confusing issue.
I wanted to check which version of pip I was currently using and did this:

jeanineloughlin@Jeanines-MacBook-Air ~ % pip --version
zsh: command not found: pip

So I did a little research and found that because at one time I used Python2, and latter upgraded to Python3 I need to clarify that I want the pip install/packages for Python3. So I needed to use pip3:

jeanineloughlin@Jeanines-MacBook-Air ~ % pip3 --version
pip 25.3 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.14/lib/python3.14/site-packages/pip (python 3.14)

I also updated to the latest version of git

I think it would be helpful to provide this information on GitHub Codecademy Docs site.
I would also include a reminder to users to check on the versions they are using and take a moment to update.
I used HomeBrew.
