Hello new user here.

trying to setup a magic mirror for my wife.

got the hardware and MM installed and now i’m trying to install some modules to get it set up.

MMPM seems like a good first one to help get all the modules setup correctly but I cannot for the life of me get it working

I’m good with computers but a bit of a noob for linux and rasberry pi stuff. This is my first build.

Per the instructions I can install it via docker and I run that command

docker pull karsten13/mmpm

that seems to run and do its thing but its not installed.

so I try the python method listed

python3 -m pip install --upgrade mmpm

Here’s where I get this error:

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.

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.

Please help!

what do I do to install this module to set up my magic mirror?

thank you all in advance

Ben
