New error when installing motioneye

[Bluscream]

root@minopia:/tmp# pip install motioneye
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-Debian-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 python3-full installed.

    For more information visit http://rptl.io/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.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

this didnt happen when i set up motioneye last time

It's in the readme

On recent Debian (Bookworm ant later) and Ubuntu (Lunar and later) versions, the libpython3.*-stdlib package ships a file /usr/lib/python3.*/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED, which prevents the installation of Python modules outside of venv environments. motionEye however has a small number of dependencies with no strict version requirements and hence is very unlikely to break any Python package you might have installed via APT. To bypass this block, add break-system-packages=true to the [global] section of your pip.conf:

grep -q '\[global\]' /etc/pip.conf 2> /dev/null || printf '%b' '[global]\n' | sudo tee -a /etc/pip.conf > /dev/null
sudo sed -i '/^\[global\]/a\break-system-packages=true' /etc/pip.conf

It's in the readme

You know there are about ~50 tutorials and readmes official or not and only one mentions this ...

I have a suggestion: in the README.md, omit the part about grep'ing and chaning the pip.conf file and just add the --break-system-packages argument to pip like so:

sudo python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages --pre motioneye

Makes the installation easy again.
