Description

I'm trying to use pip to download beautiful soup, but it keeps on downloading to python2 folders. I tried to uninstall python2 but couldn't get pip to link with python3. ### Screenshots

Try pip3.

It says command not found

Maybe try python3 -m pip install [package name]

You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

try python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip first, it looks like the version of beautifulsoup you are trying to install isn't python3 supported.

[chrisying]

also try python3 -m pip install -U beautifulsoup4 (it's apparently a different version). @seandkim
