    I get an error when installing, I am a newbie, see error below

    Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent
    permitted by applicable law.

    david@raspberrypi:~ $ python3 -m pip install --upgrade mmpm
    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.

      @rohredd yes, python has taken to using a virtual env to enable loading different libraries for different apps on the same system

      i am not a python programmer, so i dont know how to fix this, maybe google can help
      “create python virtual environment”
