Hi Pauline, It depends largely on whether you want to (and have sufficient permissions) to install for all users or just yourself.
If, on *nix, you're installing site-wide (for all users), typically you'd do: "sudo pip install <module>" (for python 2) or "sudo pip3 install <module>" (for python 3). If you're installing it for yourself, you may need to add the --prefix=<dir> option. Typically, <dir> would be somewhere under your home directory. This can be problematic, as you may need to edit the PYTHONPATH (and possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to point to appropriate directories. In this case, you're probably better of setting up a virtual environment. See: http://python-guide-pt-br.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/. With virtualenvs, you can setup a per user/project python configuration. If you're on Windows, you should be able to "py pip install <module>", and that will install it for you. If you run under and adminstrator cmd prompt & python has been installed for all users, I *think* the module will be available for everyone. Hope this helps.
