[Sitherious]

works, tho im getting an error in homepage but thats prob my fault. other then that it works like a charm thanks

[aroundmyroom]

tried it on a fresh unpriviliged lxc container with debian bookworm
but although the system tells me all is ok

the usr/local/bin part is skipped as I see this error:

Install dependencies
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.

etc..

You are installing it on a LXC not created by a script in this repository.
You can run rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.*/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED to resolve your issue.

thanks, that solved the issue

hi,
Thanks for your terrific job! Many warnings advise against deleting this file (EXTERNALLY-MANAGED) with regard to future maintenance via "Apt". They recommend using Pipx to install Glances. What do you think ? Is the risk real?
