Description

I am encountering an issue while trying to install dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt on Manjaro. The error message I am receiving is as follows:

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try 'pacman -S
    python-xyz', where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.

    If you wish to install a non-Arch-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using 'python -m venv path/to/venv'.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

    If you wish to install a non-Arch packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have python-pipx
    installed via pacman.

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.

Expected Behavior

I expect pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required Python packages as specified in the requirements.txt file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run pip install -r requirements.txt.

Environment

• Operating System: Manjaro

I have not Tried it how to perform the same

There 2 options:

1. Using the native venv module: python3 -m venv venv.
2. Using a python version manager like: pyenv to create a local environment.

Then proceed to install the requirements.
