I have a issue
pip install -r requirements.txt 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. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
Ok
This error occurs when you try to use pip to install packages into a system-managed Python environment. To resolve this, you have a few options:
-
Create a Virtual Environment: Use
python3 -m venv path/to/venvto create a virtual environment, then activate it and use its pip to install packages. This isolates your project's dependencies from the system Python. -
Use pipx: If you're installing Python applications, consider using pipx (
pipx install xyz) which creates isolated environments for each application. -
Install System-wide: If you really want to install packages system-wide, use
apt install python3-xyz(replace "xyz" with the package name). But this is generally not recommended as it can lead to conflicts and dependency issues. -
Override with --break-system-packages: If you're sure you want to install packages system-wide despite the risks, you can use
pip install --break-system-packages -r requirements.txt, but be cautious as it might break your system.
