Error installing webchat on Pi4 / bookworm


 

Hello,

Trying to install webchat, located at github.com/km4ack/webchat. I get the following error:

Hit:1 bookworm InRelease
Hit:2 bookworm-security InRelease
Hit:3 bookworm-updates InRelease
Hit:4 bookworm InRelease
Reading package lists... Done

installing aprsd
error: externally-managed-environment

?? This environment is externally managed
??¡ã??€> 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.

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.
mv: cannot overwrite non-directory '/home/pi/bin/webchat/webchat' with directory '/home/pi/bin/webchat'
sed: can't read /home/pi/bin/webchat/webchat.desktop: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat '/home/pi/bin/webchat/webchat.desktop': No such file or directory

Please note, I do have python3-full installed. Thanks in advance.
