### Externally Managed Environment
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some users may encounter the following error while installing packages:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
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.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
…
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This occurs when your operating system depends on and manages Python for core functionality. In this case, you should install and setup venv (virtual environments) to manage project dependencies.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This prevents pip packages from being installed system-wide. This way, there are no risks of pip packages conflicting between multiple projects or the operating system.
