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-Kali-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 pypy3-venv installed.
    If you wish to install a non-Kali-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.
    For more information, refer to the following:
    * https://www.kali.org/blog/python-externally-managed/
    * /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv
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.

		|  | Why not install via pipxas mentioned in the message above? First, install pipx with sudo apt update && sudo apt install pipx. Then install xsstrike with pipx install xsstrike: ┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─$ pipx install xsstrike
  installed package xsstrike 3.2.2, installed using Python 3.12.6
  These apps are now globally available
    - xsstrike
⚠  Note: '/home/kali/.local/bin' is not on your PATH environment variable.
    These apps will not be globally accessible until your PATH is updated.
    Run `pipx ensurepath` to automatically add it, or manually modify your
    PATH in your shell's config file (e.g. ~/.bashrc).
done! ✨ � ✨
 Run pipx ensurepathas suggested above: ┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─$ pipx ensurepath      
Success! Added /home/kali/.local/bin to the PATH environment variable.
Consider adding shell completions for pipx. Run 'pipx completions' for
instructions.
You will need to open a new terminal or re-login for the PATH changes to
take effect. Alternatively, you can source your shell's config file with
e.g. 'source ~/.bashrc'.
Otherwise pipx is ready to go! ✨ � ✨
 Then open a new terminal, and you can run xsstrike: ┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
