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.

Very sorry for the lack of reply here!

The updated installer should now attempt to set up a virtual environment for you, you'll need to activate it before running the examples with source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate.

Some more information about virtual environments (and why you now need one) can be found here, and updated installation instructions can be found here and here.

Closing for now - let us know if you're still stuck!
