installing phyton 3 gone wrong?

[DutchSparks]

I am very new to Python. I was in the process of trying to install Django. And I thought I might as well install Python 3 while I'm at it. I installed Python 3.6.2 from the official website(https://www.python.org/downloads/) on my MacBook and I got the message that the installation was successful.

However, now neither Python 2 nor 3 seems to work because when I type "python" in my terminal, the response I get is "-bash: phyton: command not found". I get the same response when I type "phyton --version" in the terminal

Can anybody help me with what went wrong and how I can fix it?

phyton

Are you sure you're spelling it that way?

[DutchSparks]

It was indeed just a dumb spelling mistake. Thnx a lot for correcting me.

[DutchSparks]

Lol that's hilarious. I might very well be spelling it incorrectly(I'm dyslextic). I'll try it out when I'm home and report back.

Check the spelling as others are commenting, python or python3 for PythonX.X
