You need to enter this *single* line in the Terminal:

    sudo python3 -m pip install pytest

It's a cmmand-line option to the python interpreter
telling it to execute a module.

(What you did was first launch the Python interpreter and
then tell it to run "python3 -m pip install pytest" as a
Python statement. But it's not Python code, it's a shell
command.)
