This is what I get:
Code:
clark@rdbox:~$ sudo pip3 install nicegui
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider.
You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS,
by passing --break-system-packages.
I don't see the need for a virtual environment either.
Note I used --break-system-packages and that seemed to work... Today! I tried this yesterday and it said the option didn't exist. Must have spelled wrong or something. Go figure!
problem solved, but not exactly like I'd like.
Code:
$ sudo pip3 install nicegui --break-system-packages
