Cannot Uninstall Program

Open gitty323 opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

I am experiencing the same issue as in https://github.com/trackmastersteve/alienfx/issues/86 so I would like to uninstall the program. Following what was said in https://github.com/trackmastersteve/alienfx/issues/111, I tried pip uninstall alienfx but receive the following error:

DEPRECATION: Loading egg at /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/alienfx-2.4.3-py3.12.egg is deprecated. pip 24.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation.. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12330
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/python3.12/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.

alienfx still appears under pip list (3 times for some reason) however.
