title: Installing tensorflow but replacing pip3 with pip because pip3 not found. Mistake?
body: <p>Installed tensorflow but replacing every mention of "pip3" with "pip" because "pip3" was not found.</p>
  
  <p>It seems to have worked because I can run tensorflow scripts in qtConsole now.</p>
  
  <p>Have I screwed myself in the long run somehow by not following the instructions on the website (<a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip</a>), or am I good to go? If good to go, am I ok to install other things the same way?</p>
  
  <p>Script I run: </p>
  
  <pre><code>mnist = tf.keras.datasets.mnist
  
  (x_train, y_train),(x_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()
  x_train, x_test = x_train / 255.0, x_test / 255.0
  
  model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([
    tf.keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=(28, 28)),
    tf.keras.layers.Dense(512, activation=tf.nn.relu),
    tf.keras.layers.Dropout(0.2),
    tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation=tf.nn.softmax)
  ...
  
  Out[1]: [0.08017649850141025, 0.9772]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Additional info</strong></p>
  
  <p>When I say pip3 not found, I mean to say </p>
  
  <p><code>pip3 install -U pip virtualenv</code></p>
  
  <p>is met with </p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: 'pip3' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Exact same code ran with "pip" rather than "pip3" works just fine.</p>
