### 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.
