Pip not working after installing Homebrew

[harrycrosby]

Hi,

I'm running macOS Catalina 10.15.7 on my MacBook Pro, and I used Homebrew to install MongoDB ( brew install [email protected]), which is working just fine. Now, I'm trying to install the mongo-connector (to integrate with Solr and Elasticsearch) by running:

pip install mongo-connector

But I'm getting the following exception:

TTL003164:solr-8.9.0 harrycr$ pip install mongo-connector
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 6, in

raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pip==20.3b1' distribution was not found and is required by the application
TTL003164:solr-8.9.0 harrycr$

I get this when running any pip command, e.g., pip install pip, pip -version, etc. If I run:

which pip

I get:

/usr/local/bin/pip

I can't seem to find a fix on Google... Can someone please help me?

Cheers,

Harry

Try using pip3 instead of pip.

That worked---thanks, Carlo!
