How to Install Python3 via Homebrew on macOS

I just had to install Python 3 on both Macs and the whole process had some issues, so this is what I had to do to get everything running correctly:

I assume you already have Homebrew installed; if not then follow the instructions here and then run the following commands…
brew update
brew upgrade
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Frameworks
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/* if using bash or sudo chown -R (whoami) /usr/local/* for fish
brew install python3
brew link python3
brew doctor

That’s it.
