ubuntu 24.04 installation error with pip (used pipx instead)

[stannous]

Hello,

Just found your fine program. Thanks!
One little problem I had installing on an ubuntu 24.04 laptop was an error installing with pip.

$ pip install fdlogger
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.

I used pipx instead and it everything ran just fine.

$ sudo apt install pipx
Reading package lists... Done

$ pipx install fdlogger
installed package fdlogger 24.5.25, installed using Python 3.12.3
These apps are now globally available
- fdlogger
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨

Thanks again,
Sam Tannous, KJ4VWG

Thanks. I'll make a note in the readme when I get back home.
