Adding symlink to /usr/bin
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm trying to add python3 to my path by adding a symlink but it's erroring and I'm not sure why.
/usr/bin $ sudo su
sh-3.2# ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python3
ln: /usr/bin/python3: Operation not permitted
sh-3.2# whoami
root
sh-3.2# ls -la | head -n 2
total 139064
drwxr-xr-x 977 root wheel 31264 24 Jul 2018 .
* Edit *
I have symlinked from /usr/local/bin/python3 so that's fine.

/usr/bin is, as a lot of directories installed by default, protected by SIP and can't be modified by any user. There are ways to disable SIP, but the better approach is to use the directories beneath /usr/local for user-installed things
sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/
sudo sh -c 'grep -q "/usr/local/bin" /etc/paths || echo "/usr/local/bin" >> /etc/paths'
The last line will make sure that /usr/local/bin is part of PATH for all shells started/Terminal tabs created after the line has been executed.

Thank you. Is there a way to know what directories are protected by SIP from the command line? @nohillside
