Answer 1

I think you are using Ubuntu 18.04. In that case, the python 3.6.5 the python-pip package will get installed after :

sudo add-apt-repository universe

sudo apt-get update

You need to enable the category universe:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main universe 

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main universe
