Ubuntu 24.04 + Odoo 17.0 - error: externally-managed-environment

[horatiua]

Hi,

I use Digital Ocean with an Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) x64 droplet.
While installing the following error appears.
If I disable the externally-managed-environment I get another error regarding idna 3.6 (see second error below)
Any idea on how to solve this? 
Thank you! 

---- Install python packages/requirements ----
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/python3.12/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.

Facing the same problem

[icf20]

afaik u need to keep separated the system stuff and odoo stuff

afaik u need to

1 with root ssh, su odoo-user-from-install
2 pip3 install xxxyyyzzz --user

that way u install stuff only for the user, u can check later with pip3 list and pip3 show xxxyyyzzz

Yes, of course.
But how do we update the script in order for that to work?

I had same issue and figure out hack for that
use --break-system-packages with pip install
e.g.
pip install package_name --break-system-packages

Please note that above is just hack solution which I used and worked well for me.
I hope it will help you.
