====== pip ====== ===== error: externally-managed-environment ===== $ pip3 install yamllint 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. **Reason**: [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75602063/pip-install-r-requirements-txt-is-failing-this-environment-is-externally-manag|pip install -r requirements.txt is failing: This environment is externally managed]] **Solution**: * [[https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/#guide-users-towards-virtual-environments|guide-users-towards-virtual-environments]] * for applications/executables use ''pipx'': * ''sudo apt install python3-full pipx'' * ''pipx install yamllint'' * for others ise ''venv'' Dirty solution (but usefull for Dockers or CI): * ''sudo rm /usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED''
