error externally-managed-environment #11

Open abruhaha opened 5 months ago

Hi, I followed the directions pretty well, I think but when I tried to run the magicmirror via npm run start, it would never finish running the command so I tried to backtrack the issue.

The error I get when installing python via command npm instal:

~/MagicMirror/modules $ pip3 install -U gkeepapi 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.

Not ideal, but you can force it to install:

~/MagicMirror/modules $ pip3 install -U gkeepapi --break-system-packages
