What is it with this externally-managed-environment pip install error?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The error message is very detailed and there is nothing to add to it.
If you want to install an application/CLI tool, use
pipx
or your system package manager. If you want to install a library, use a virtual environment (e.g. by usingpython -m venv
) or your system package manager.
