That would be: python3 -m pip3 install the_program The version with `python3` is generally better because it ensures that the install is associated with your `python3` command - that way when you run a programme with `python3` the module is available. This is because a module is installed against a particular version of Python, and it is possible the the `pip3` you run is not associated with the same Python as `python3` in complicated setups. You will of course want to adjust `python3` to be whatever Python executable you're working with, but in the basic case that is just `python3` as you have in your example.
