Don't.

sudo apt-get install python3

or use the software manager, which is possibly a bit more user friendly

invoke as python3  unless... if you're on Ulyana, which I presume is the
derivative of Ubuntu 20.04LTS (haven't used yet), you can also probably
install python-is-python3 to make the "default" python be Python 3.
