ROS middleware installation notes mistake

[guilhembn]

On this piece of documentation : ROS Installation Notes in order to install pyYAML, rospkg and catkin for Python3 it is suggested to execute sudo python3 setup.py install.
According to this SO topic, sudo must not be used to install with python. Furthermore, I had errors installing the packages using sudo : error: could not create 'src/catkin_pkg.egg-info': Permission denied while everything works fine using python3 setup.py install --user.
The documentation may need to be fixed.
