When I read this https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ it says I
have the pip installed when I installed the python from official doc.
But when I run the `pip` command from shell, I get error, but pip3
works.

pip 18.1 from

Ok, you've installed python 3 on a Mac.
Historically most systems have shipped with python 2 (from the OS
vendor, which is Apple in your case), and the "python" command invokes
Python 2. So python 3 is installed as the "python3" command to avoid
confusion. The "pip" command from your python 3 install looks like it
is also installed as "pip3" to avoid confusion.
Do I always need to install using pip3 program then?
Yes, that is correct for this particular install.
