Instructions for running the Configuration Helper with Python need update #224

Description

@javajason

Describe the bug
The existing instructions for running the configuration helper with Python ("Run With System Python" section) show these steps:
$ pip install PyYAML==6.0.2
$ python /app/src/config_helper.py --generate-config

However, they do not appear to work. I tried them on two Ubuntu systems and one RHEL system. Same results (command not found and, when solving that issue, an error that /app/src/config_helper.py does not exist).

Replacing the above commands with the following appears to solve this issue:
$ python3 src/config_helper.py --generate-config

We should also provide users with these instructions for installing Python if is not already on their system:
Install on Ubuntu https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/linux/
Install on RHEL and compatible Linux distributions: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/installing_and_using_dynamic_programming_languages/assembly_installing-and-using-python_installing-and-using-dynamic-programming-languages
