Installation of s-tui and of the stress test: pipx

[LinuxOnTheDesktop]

Step 1: Describe your environment

• AMD Rhyzen 7040 series
• OS version: Mint 22
• s-tui version: 1.1.6
• Installation method(pip/PPA/source code): pipx install s-tui

Step 2: Describe the problem

Trying to install with pip produced an 'externally managed environment' error.

Installing with pipx worked - but, subsequently, within s-tui 'install stress' was marked as 'na'. The latter situation might be because I had not run s-tui as root. But how does one run a pipx-installed program as root? (sudo s-tui yields 'command not found').

Imo the best solution is to run sudo /home/whatever_your_username_is/.local/bin/s-tui. If you don't want to keep typing that then alias it in your bashrc
