I had followed the instructions here to install pip3; I need it to install other python3 packages. I don't remember if I installed pip3 a long time before. After running sudo apt install python3-pip, I get the following as the output,
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python3-pip is already the newest version (8.1.1-2ubuntu0.4).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

However, When I type which pip3, I do not get any output. Again, When I typed pip3 -V, I get the following response:
The program 'pip3' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install python3-pip
I tried dpkg -L python3-pip and got the following as the output:

which implies that pip3 has been installed.
How do I resolve this issue?
Some more details: I have python 2.7 and python 3 installed in /usr/local/lib/. The python 2.7 has the following pip installations:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-10.0.0.dist-info
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-18.0.dist-info
while there is no pip3 installation in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/. There is only a pip installation in python3.
How do I resolve this issue?
