The message is trying to protect you from installing packages into your system that could break your system.
Likely the best solution for your particular use case is to do:
apt install pipx
Followed by:
pipx install spotdl
But if you need help or support, this is not the place, this is for reporting bugs in pip, you will be better served by reaching out to peers or help forums, such as Python Discuss help category, /r/learnpython on reddit, Python Discord's #python-help channel, #python on Libera.chat (IRC), python-list or python-tutor mailing lists, or StackOverflow.
Noted thanks for the help.
I'm going to close this issue as I presume that @identitycrisiskusu has been sufficiently helped. If anyone has suggestions for making this error more actionable for end-users, we'd like to hear them (although honestly, we probably really need to get around to creating the "error index" documentation page that covers this error in more detail).
Description
I'm trying to install spotdl with pip, but my pip manager is saying "This environment is externally managed" and I don't know how to fix it.
Expected behavior
Allowing me to download the pip package without errors.
pip version
24.0
Python version
3.12.3
OS
Linux Lite 7.0 x86_64
How to Reproduce
I'm unsure how I can repeat the process exactly, but the only thing I did since Pip was already installed on my OS I just did "pip install spotdl" and it outputted the response from the image below.
Output
I didn't see any issue reports for this issue and I looked but here's the image (helped would be appreciated),
