I'm getting a bunch of "no module named" and "failed to import" errors when trying to test Howdy. #892

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible, including any errors and traces.
If your issue is a camera issue, be sure to also post the image generated by running sudo howdy snapshot.

I followed the instructions to install Howdy on OpenSUSE, but when I tried to test it, I got errors that some libraries were not installed (at least I assume they are libraries).

HowdyBug

I tried to install the libraries myself, but I get:

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try
    zypper install python311-xyz, where xyz is the package
    you are trying to install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-rpm packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3.11 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.
    
    If you wish to install a non-rpm packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use `pipx install xyz`, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Install pipx via `zypper install python311-pipx` .

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.

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 23.3.2 -> 24.0
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip

I would appreciate any help with this, thank you!


I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has been reported, but none of them have worked for me.

Linux distribution (if applicable): OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (KDE Plasma)

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): Howdy 2.6.1

How are you installing Python libraries? Are you using pip? Try using zypper to install instead, like the error message says: zypper install python311-numpy
