Where are you running this command from? It sounds like you are not in 
the right directory. You need to be inside the 'frescobaldi' directory. 
If you do 'ls', you should see a setup.py file.

Before trying to install, what do you get if, inside the 'frescobaldi' 
folder, you follow the procedure for running Frescobaldi from this 
folder without installing, namely 'python3 frescobaldi'?

I don't know, but let's try to properly run 3.2 first.
