 If you have [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed, you can install Python by running the following command in the terminal (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>`</kbd>):
 
 ```
-brew install python
+brew install python3
 ```
 
 If you don't have Homebrew, you can download a Python installer for macOS from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/).
