I ran pip with sudo, should I be concerned?

Context is this

@prisma flax why are you installing youtubedl with pip and not with apt?

[prisma flax]

Uhhh

The official website said nothing about apt?

@acoustic radish
(Btw, am I safe? Would the command have ruined anything?)

[acoustic radish]

@prisma flax the warning says it might

[prisma flax]

Oh God

I'm worried

[acoustic radish]

There are also various graphical frontends to yt-dlp, such as parabolic, tartube and yt-dlg

pick one you want

[prisma flax]

Ok

But am I safe?

[acoustic radish]

yes

please don't sudo pip install

just install your package from your native package manager

[prisma flax]

Okie

This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try 'apt install
    python-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 '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-debian 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 debian.```

Where's this from?

[acoustic radish]

typing pip install foo

where foo is a name of a package

[prisma flax]

Interesting

[acoustic radish]

@prisma flax what frontend did you pick?

[prisma flax]

I yet have to choose

Dont use pip unless you have to and know what you are doing. Use apt or your normal package manager they are safer and much more reliable
