I tried installing pypy3 after installing pypy through the regular Ubuntu 18.04 repo: 

E: Unable to locate package pypy3

Okay, so it's not available in the regular repos. I added the official PyPy PPA as suggested on the PyPy download page:

E: Unable to locate package pypy3

Again, pypy3 is not available. Is there really no pypy3 package available for Ubuntu, or am I missing something that should be obvious?

    There is a snap version of pypy3. sudo snap install pypy3 --classic. And if you want the newest version it would be sudo snap install pypy3 --edge --classic and if you want to change between the two the command is sudo snap refresh pypy3 --edge --classic or sudo snap refresh pypy3 --stable --classic. – Terrance Aug 17 '18 at 04:41
  • @Terrance I'm manually installing it. Snap pollutes the home directory because it ignores XDG and other standards. – Uyghur Lives Matter Aug 17 '18 at 13:21
  • @Terrance Etiquette might be a better description. It's weird that it installs things under /snap and ensures ~/snap exists instead of say ~/.snap. – Uyghur Lives Matter Aug 17 '18 at 13:27

    I get what you're saying. Looks like it is a bug that people have filed and marked as affects them as well. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/882562/how-can-i-change-or-hide-the-snap-directory – Terrance Aug 17 '18 at 15:48
