Thank you Ecconia for pointing this out.

On my Linux system and with my python version, some "virtual environment" feature seems to have been added.

This means to run the program from source files locally I have to run the following commands:

# Executed in the project directory after cloning (on main branch).
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip # Optional
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py

I have no clue which systems would be affected by this, or what this means for a production release.

I found these instructions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75608323/how-do-i-solve-error-externally-managed-environment-every-time-i-use-pip-3 (that also has a lot of "bad" instructions which are NOT to be followed).

My IDE PyCharm also has instructions on how to make this work via https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/creating-virtual-environment.html

I ran these instructions after I ran previous commands to create an environment. After I switched the interpreter, I was able to install requirements properly and start editing.
