Installation guide shows Python 2.7 path despite instructing Python 3.10.16 #524

Description

@vanshika114

Describe the issue:
In the installation guide, users are instructed to install Python 3.10.16
via pyenv. However, the example pip install output shows a Python 2.7 path:

/home/user/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18/envs/oppia-tmp/lib/python2.7/site-packages (44.1.1)

This is confusing and contradictory for first-time contributors.

This issue appears in two places:

  1. Under "Setup a virtual environment" → "Install the Python dependencies"
Image
  1. Under "Notes on installation on Arch Linux systems" → "Install the Python dependencies"

Location:
https://github.com/oppia/oppia/wiki/Installing-Oppia-%28Linux%3B-Python-3%29#setup-a-virtual-environment

Suggested Fix:
Update both code example outputs to reflect Python 3.10.16 paths.
