Success, but also confusion.

Notes - about me:
Prior to asking how to install with pip, I searched on my own for how
to do that. I got results
like https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/ which were
confusing to me. It did not make sense to me to begin an install
command with "python." So, I asked the generic question.
I appreciate the help and guidance from Mark and from everyone in GLUG.
It's not clear to me what bits of knowledge I'm lacking. Perhaps I
don't really grasp how to install programs, which I think are referred
to as packages. I think that it has something to do with apt. Perhaps I
don't really grasp what apt is and how apt functions. Perhaps I don't
grasp what pip is and how pip functions.
In the past, I felt somewhat overwhelmed with new Linux info. I'm
feeling ready now to take in more info. I appreciate guidance in what
sources to pursue.

Notes - about this task:
1 I removed the apt yt-dlp
2 I tried pip3 install yt-dlp
3 A window popped up. Not knowing what to do, I did nothing.
 What should I know about the window for KDE Wallet Service?
4 A warning showed keyring is skipped.
 What should I know about the keyring being skipped?
5 A warning showed installed in '/home/ll/.local/bin' which is not on
PATH
 I'm familiar with the concept of path from my experience with DOS
years ago. I have not done anything yet with path in Linux. Are there
any recommendations for me for path? Is not good to get started? Any
approach best?
6 I tried to run yt-dlp from the directory where I want to download a
video into. That failed.
7 I tried ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp and had success
8 Now, I'd like to address the points in 3, 4 and 5 above.

In gratitude,
LeRoy
