Why not publish as a pypi package so users can use pip/pipx for direct installation? #16

Hi @rew1nter It's on the TODO list! I have with a few other tools, but haven't had chance to do this one yet. I'll let you know when you can install with pip/pipx Thanks Xnl

Hi. I am closing this becaue you can now install using pip. I know it's not on PyPi yet, but that is on the TODO list, but at least its easier to install with pip install git+https://github.com/xnl-h4ck3r/xnLinkFinder.git -v now, and you can run from anywhere. Thanks

Does this global installation with pip not break system-site-packages?

xnl-h4ck3r commented 7 months ago

I'm not sure excayly what you mean by "break system-site-packages", but it still runs the setup.py when you run the pip install and I haven't seen any issues with installing. Please let me know if you do

I meant this. Python 3.11 image image

As you can see setup install is deprecated and they recommend pipx

xnl-h4ck3r commented 7 months ago

You don't run python setup.py install anymore, you just run pip install git+https://github.com/xnl-h4ck3r/xnLinkFinder.git -v and that's it will run the setup.py itself. I have not seen the externally-managed-environment before. Does it work ok if you add --break-system-packages to the pip install command? I'm not 100% sure as I haven't come across this issue before

I literally did that in the second screenshot.

It would. But it clearly says there's a chance of breaking the system since the OS uses python's global env

I have not seen the externally-managed-environment before

Python 3.11 deprecates the usage of setup install and encourage pipx [second screenshot]
