pip error in Kali Linux: error: externally-managed-environment : SOLVED

 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.

    If you wish to install a non-Kali-packaged Python package,

    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.

    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make

    sure you have pypy3-venv installed.

    If you wish to install a non-Kali-packaged Python application,

    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a

    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

    For more information, refer to the following:

    * https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/python3-external-packages/

    * /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. 

Solution:

1) Use pipx:

    To install pipx, run:

•      sudo apt install pipx

     Install package from PyPI:
   pipx install  <package name>
2) Create a virtual environment using venv
sudo apt install python3-venv

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip install requests
If you want to leave the virtual environment, you can run:

deactivate
