Ubuntu 18.04 ppa error

See original GitHub issue

It would be nice adding to the installation instructions how to overcome the following error:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pypa/ppa
(...)
Err:11 http://ppa.launchpad.net/pypa/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release

@acrogenesis I believe the most recommended way (by the community) is to use pip3 install --user and add ~/.local/bin to the front of your PATH.
