Getting 'pip install error: externally-managed-environment' – How to Fix This Issue?

18 Replies, 1092 Views

Hey everyone,

So I was trying to install a package using pip and got this error: *pip install error: externally-managed-environment*. Anyone else run into this?

From what I gathered, it’s something to do with the system Python being "managed" (idk, sounds fancy lol). I tried the `--break-system-packages` flag, and it worked, but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to go.

Any tips or better fixes? Or is this just the new normal?

Thanks in advance!

(Also, sorry if this has been asked before—I did a quick search but couldn’t find a clear answer.)
