This is an installation of Plone 5.2 on a stock (fresh install) of Debian 10 (Buster). During the installation (standalone with Python 3 (although the same result with Python 2) with default options (/opt/plone, etc.). Note the permission problem with /root/.cache (even though I was logged in as a regular (sudo-able) user rather than root. Moreover, python-pip and python3-pip were both installed on the OS.
~/Downloads/Plone-5.2.0-UnifiedInstaller-r1$ sudo -H ./install.sh
