Ah.  Do not include the leading "$" in the command that you're typing.
I'm assuming that you're reading some instruction that says something
like this:

-------

Type the following into your command prompt:

    $ type -a python3

--------

If you are reading such an instruction, don't literally type the
dollar sign.  "$" is a convention that's used to indicate to you to
type the rest of the line into your command prompt.  It's because, by
default, the command shell will use "$" as its primary prompt to tell
the user that it is ready to accept a new command.
