    so when ever I try to import the keyboard module in the terminal I tipe:

    pip3 install keyboard

    and I get a really long error message:


    × 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/python3.12/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.


    I'm quite new to programing in general and especially python so I was wondering if anyone could help me. My guess is that it has something to do with linux.

    P.S. If I add the keyboard-manager files https://pypi.org/project/keyboard/ and add at the top of the file:

    import keyboard no error shows up while coding but when I run the project if it has any uses of the keyboard module it errors or it just counts it as true like in an if.

    thanks :)
