Proposed Changes

In docs/installation/3-netbox.md, it says to run the following command:

# pip install --upgrade pip

Debian and its derivatives currently use "pip3" as the command name of pip for python 3. Ubuntu 20.04 specifically will not accept the mere pip by default. I suggest that some info be added to the document to point this out. I would be happy write a suggestion and open a Pull Request, but in accordance with this project's guidelines I will wait for this issue to get accepted first.

Thanks.
