Manage Python versions with Pyenv

If you have trouble with the pipenv install, may be the Python version installed on your system is not up to date. To install and manage easily multiple Python version, use Pyenv:

Install pyenv on your home

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash

Add in ~/.bash_profile, in ~/.bashrc on Fedora or Ubuntu:

export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"

Reload your bash config:

source ~/.bashrc

or

source ~/.bash_profile

Install Python version required

pyenv install 3.7.2

Select Python version for the current shell

pyenv shell 3.7.2

Pipenv will search the Pyenv Python version chosen before the system version.
