pip3 install pyuwsgi gives [Errno 13] Permission denied

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install NetBox 4.2.7 according to https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/installation/4b-uwsgi/
The Python venv has been created by the upgrade script.
But now trying to install uWSGI it always throws an error:

pip3 install pyuwsgi
Collecting pyuwsgi
  Using cached pyuwsgi-2.0.28.post1-cp310-cp310-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl.metadata (3.0 kB)

Installing collected packages: pyuwsgi
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/netbox-4.2.7/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/uwsgidecorators.py'
Check the permissions.

Obviously my user has no rights to write to /opt. But running pip install as sudo is not recommended.
However the recommended solution - using venv - doesnt work either.
Running it with sudo results in a warning:

sudo pip3 install pyuwsgi
Requirement already satisfied: pyuwsgi in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages (2.0.28.post1)
WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv

anyone any ideas what this might be?
any ideas what would be the right way?

sudo /opt/netbox/venv/bin/pip install ...

Also don't forget adding the package in /opt/netbox/local_requirements.txt as well so that it will be automatically installed whenever upgrade.sh is run next time.
