Ubuntu 20.04 LTS : Whatever I am installing using pip3, it is giving a warning saying, add /home/username/.local/bin to path

Question

I am asking this question because I was facing the same issue and could not find a complete solution so here it is.
Steps to follow :
1. Open Files app, go to home.
2. Open .bashrc file using text editor (hit ctrl+H if .bashrc file is not seen)
3. Scroll all the way to the end and type this -

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

And save the file.
4. Now open the terminal and type -

source ~/.bashrc

5. You can either use option 4 or just restart your computer.
