Since you are using sudo, you seem to be using a UNIX-like operating system.

On those systems, the python command may or may not be available, and it may point to Python 2 or Python 3.

Since you get an "invalid syntax" error, I suspect that python is actually linked to python2.

If you have installed Python 3.8, the command python3.8 should exist. Use that when trying to install numpy using setup.py.

For the same reason, do not call pip <module>, but use python3.8 -m pip <module> to ensure it is installed for Python3.8.

When using apt-get of dnf, I expect that you have to include the version number in the package names somehow. Check the repository that you're using.
