Troubleshooting Installation

Error: "externally-managed-environment"

This error occurs on newer Python installations (especially with Homebrew on macOS). Use one of these solutions:

1. Recommended: Use pipx for application installation:

   pip install --user pipx
   pipx install proxidize_pt
   

2. Use virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   pip install proxidize_pt
   

3. User installation:

   pip install --user proxidize_pt
   

PATH Issues

If you can't run proxidize after installation:

• With pipx: Run pipx ensurepath and restart your terminal
• With --user: Add ~/.local/bin (Linux/Mac) or %APPDATA%\Python\Scripts (Windows) to your PATH
• With virtual environment: Make sure the environment is activated
