Can you run and post the output of `pyenv version` before and after `pyenv global`? — Nils Werner, Jul 28 '18 at 11:12
`python3 --version` will work. Python (version 2.x) and Python 3 (version 3.x) are two different pieces of software — ggdx, Jul 28 '18 at 11:50
do you have eval "$(pyenv init -)" in your .bash_profile or .bashrc , could you do echo $PATH — dilkash, Jul 28 '18 at 11:50

The issue was I needed to add this in my bash_profile

if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
  eval "$(pyenv init -)"
fi
