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.

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. i know that thiojoe doent use liunx and uses windows but my computer doesnt have any drivers for the trackpad or the usb 1.1 port so windows doesnt work on my system debian doesnt work ethier. i tried reinstalling (debian needs custom kerrnal arccording to https://docs.chrultrabook.com/docs/installing/known-issues.html)

Try just downloading the repo as a zip file, extracting it, and running YTSpammerPurge.py with python. Assuming you already have all the dependencies it should work, since the program is portable and doesn't technically need to be installed.
