[FIXED] Install Ipython for CentOS 6.9

Issue

I have a Linux CentOS 6.9 system that has python 2.6 (pre-install) and a python 3.6 installed. I install Ipython by

pip install ipython

However, the ipython seems to use python 2.6 instead of the 3.6 I installed. Is there any ways to switch that around?

Here is some extra information:

# which ipython
/usr/bin/ipython
# which python
/usr/bin/python
# which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3

Solution

As @ForceBru pointed out, you need to use python3 counterpart of pip. Try with pip3

pip3 install ipython
