I got results like https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/ which were confusing to me. It did not make sense to me to begin an install command with "python." So, I asked the generic question. I appreciate the help and guidance from Mark and from everyone in GLUG. It's not clear to me what bits of knowledge I'm lacking. Perhaps I don't really grasp how to install programs, which I think are referred to as packages. I think that it has something to do with apt. Perhaps I don't really grasp what apt is and how apt functions. Perhaps I don't grasp what pip is and how pip functions. In the past, I felt somewhat overwhelmed with new Linux info. I'm feeling ready now to take in more info. I appreciate guidance in what sources to pursue. Notes - about this task: 1 I removed the apt yt-dlp 2 I tried pip3 install yt-dlp 3 A window popped up. Not knowing what to do, I did nothing. What should I know about the window for KDE Wallet Service? 4 A warning showed keyring is skipped. What should I know about the keyring being skipped? 5 A warning showed installed in '/home/ll/.local/bin' which is not on PATH I'm familiar with the concept of path from my experience with DOS years ago. I have not done anything yet with path in Linux. Are there any recommendations for me for path? Is not good to get started? Any approach best? 6 I tried to run yt-dlp from the directory where I want to download a video into. That failed. 7 I tried ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp and had success 8 Now, I'd like to address the points in 3, 4 and 5 above. In gratitude, LeRoy -- There is something glorious birthing within all of us.

So, how do I install with pip?
You probably would have found that one quite quickly with a web search. You run:
pip3 install packagename
you might want to add the --user flag:
pip3 install --user packagename
