Description

βœ… Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

πŸ“œ What is the name of the script you are using?

Paperless-NGX

πŸ“‚ What was the exact command used to execute the script?

Copying the https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/main/install/paperless-ngx-install.sh to local pc and run it as bash (./script.bash)

βš™οΈ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

πŸ–₯️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

πŸ“ Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

In the Install Script of Paperless NGX (https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/main/install/paperless-ngx-install.sh) you are trying to install some Python Packages via pip install. However since Debian 12 this isnt possible anymore ( told me ChatGPT). According to ChatGPT we should either use a venv for our Python environment or we can use --break-system-packages, but this is not recommended.

It would be nice if you can find a proper Solution

πŸ”„ Steps to reproduce the issue.

pip install --upgrade pip

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

pip install --upgrade pip
error: externally-managed-environment

Γ— 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.
