Unable to install on a PC running linux (dietpix86-64)

[Filippo1977-usr]

Hi,

I get this error when I try to run the last step of the installation guide (not the "hard way")
Can someone help me to solve this problem?

Also with the "hard way" I get a similar error trying to install the pip dependencies.

dietpi@DietPi:~/duino-coin-4.3$` python3 PC_Miner.py
Cpuinfo is not installed. Miner will try to automatically install it If it fails, please manually execute python3 -m pip install py-cpuinfo

Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.

× This environment is externally managed

    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.

You need to create a virtual python enviroment by venv

I faced this issue too, just by using venv I managed to fix it.

I belive this is a new feature, running python scripts without virtual enviroment can break dependencies and other things.

Happy mining!
