error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try 'pacman -S
python-xyz', where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.

If you wish to install a non-Arch-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using 'python -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-Arch packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have python-pipx
installed via pacman.

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.

Same on Manjaro with Release branch.
Installed python-pynvim with pacman, but the script still prompts to install it by itself.

[mfouesneau]

Alpine also throws the same error.

[romulomf]

Exactly the same issue here reported by @MRParag95 also on arch linux.

[henrique-marques-vsoft]

I found this, see if it helps you:
A workaround for this is to manually install the (so far only) python dependency, 'pynvim'. You can do so on Arch with the following command;
sudo pacman -S python-pynvim

Then install LunarVim again, selecting "no" for installing python dependencies.

[kylo252]

Yeah, we should probably remove that pynvim dependency, and tell the users they can install it themselves if they need it.
For now, you can select "no" when prompted by the installer.
