I am not familiar with pip; after having run the command you suggested to
install meson:

$ pip3 install --user meson

Successfully installed meson-0.51.1


 it does not seem like my system finds meson-0.51.1 anyway, but still finds
the old version. What do I need to do to have the newer version of pip run?
My guess is that the executable meson-0.51.1 is located at
~/.local/bin/meson - but do I need to to anything more than to point out
that executable in a symlink that I create under /usr/bin ?
