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
