Hello,
I'm not sure who to talk to about this, but I can't get the command to install Kuibit to work.
I've been using the Einstein Toolkit for a few months now, and I wanted to update everything in light of the recent 'Schwarzschild' release. The toolkit itself was fine, but when I input the shell command to install Kuibit:
pip install --user -U kuibit==1.4.0
I receive the following error message:
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.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
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.
I should mention that my version of Python no longer recognizes that kuibit is installed, i.e., when I run Python I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kuibit'. This is what motivated me to update everything in the first place.
