Pip3 trying to install in wrong python directory

Question

I recently installed Fedora 26, and it came with python3.6 already installed. However, the application I plan on running uses python3.4 instead. I want to continue using python3.4 so I installed it using dnf. So when I type pip3 -V to se what version of pip3 I'm using, I get this: pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6) . How would I make it so that pip3 installs in pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4) instead of python3.6?

Here are some things I have tried. When running this command python3.4 -m pip , I get this error: /usr/bin/python3.4: No module named pip . When I tried to reinstall pip, it reinstalls pip-3.6. Also, I noticed that I don't have the pip-3.4 package.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Download this script

Open your terminal and execute it using the command

[root@server ~]# python3.4 get-pip.py

This should install pip to your Python 3.4 installation

Then you can access your pip package manager for your Python 3.4 installation using

[root@server ~]# python3.4 -m pip install <module>

Output on my computer:

 >> ekavala@elx750xhv:~$ python3.4 --version
 > Python 3.4.3
 >> ekavala@elx750xhv:~$ python3.4 -m pip -V
 > pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages (python 3.4)
