Title: "Getting 'error: externally-managed-environment' – how do I bypass or resolve this?"
Hey folks,
So I was trying to pip install a package on my Linux system (Ubuntu 22.04), and bam—hit with the dreaded *error: externally-managed-environment*. Super annoying, right?
The error says something like "this Python installation is managed by the OS, use apt instead." But like, I don’t *wanna* use apt, ya know?
I’ve seen people suggest `--break-system-packages`, but that feels sketchy.
Is there a cleaner fix? Maybe a virtualenv? Or editing some config file?
Thanks in advance!
(Also, if you’ve run into this, how’d you solve it? Share your hacks!)
