# Pip

When you install some python package using :

* `sudo apt install python3-$package_name$` then the package will be installed in `/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/$package_name$`
* `sudo pip3 install $package_name$` then the package will be installed in `/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/numpy/`
* `pip3 install $package_name$`, then the package will be installed in `/home/$user$/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/$package_name$`
