Hello
This might be a really dumb thing to post here but I don't really know what else to do
I've been trying to flash my old phone with a custom rom, when I got to a part where it asked me to download a specific software; ie samloader-rs I couldn't for the life of me figure it out
github.com
This is the github page, There's two tar files on it, one for arch and the second for everything else (i think, please correct me if im wrong)
I downloaded the one that wasn't named with arch.
when I extracted the tar file it just gave me an executable file but i cant execute it.
i tried looking up a guide when doing the darn thing and i found this one:
technastic.com
There's a line on it where it uses pip3 to install something from the github page (i think pip is used for python, i have both installed) and i keep getting the same error
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.
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/python3.13/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 couldn't find anything online to do with this and I'm stuck
I'd be happy if someone could help me please
Thanks a bunch
