Can't install pyside6

[ForeverNoob]

Hello,

How can I install pyside6 system-wide?

TIA

[devil]

Hi and welcome to siduction.

Pyside6 is not available in Debian Unstable or siduction from the archives. To install it, you need the python-installer pip. First install pip itself with

Code Select Expand

apt update && apt install python3-pip

In the next step, you install pyside6 with:

Code Select Expand

pip3 install pyside6

After that, you can start creating Python GUI applications with PySide6 in siduction. Have fun.

Thanks for answering.

This the response of the pip3 install:

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

   create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.

As suggested I tried this:

Code Select Expand

apt install python3-pyside6

The response was:

Code Select Expand

Unable to locate package python3-pyside6

It may just come down to syntax.

Did I say 

Code Select Expand

apt install python3-pyside6

I don't think so.

That doesn't work too. apt response:

Code Select Expand

Unable to locate package python3-pyside6

You need pip3 first, because pyside6 is not in Debian. If

Code Select Expand

sudo apt install python3-pip

does not work, your sources.list is wrong.

Already had that installed. Running

Code Select Expand

pip3 install pyside6

gives the following response:

Sorry man, I'm out. You have to learn how to read. Look at my initial instructions.

The pip3 install command is correct. There's a file on your system marking it as 'externally managed', just like the message says.
Included in the message is a suggestion to use a venv (virtual environment) or use pipx, alternatively it notes a way to override the restriction, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS. Your choice how to proceed.
