Beginners problems #255

Hi you great DataLad-Pros! Thank you so much for the Handbook! As I am a true rookie, I feel like in chapter 3, 3.1.3 "Install DataLad" (for MacOS at least) the explanations about the needed installations are missing information about how/where to install python? (I managed it, though 🤓)

Thanks for the report @NevenaK! I'm adding our earler conversation to this issue to document it, should others need this information as well:

macOS Catalina has Python installed by default, so there is not need to install Python "from scratch". As for Python package managers, there may be pip3 instead of pip installed, though. Depending of which it is, pip install datalad=~0.12.0rc6 or pip3 install datalad=~0.12.0rc6 will do the job. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the update! I think my issue in retrospect was also that I used the wrong way to install git-annex. i.e. I used the assistant instead of the brew line. Maybe this is worthwhile noting? Thank you!
