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.
