Datasette for Debian
--------------------
Plugin Management (PEP 668)
---------------------------
The "datasette install" and "datasette uninstall" commands use pip
internally to manage plugins. On Debian systems, these commands will
fail with "externally-managed-environment" due to PEP 668, which
prevents pip from modifying the system Python environment.
This is expected behavior and protects system integrity.
To use datasette with plugins, install via pipx instead:
pipx install datasette
datasette install datasette-json-html
datasette uninstall datasette-json-html
Alternatively, use a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv ~/.local/share/datasette-venv
~/.local/share/datasette-venv/bin/pip install datasette
~/.local/share/datasette-venv/bin/datasette install <plugin>
The Debian package provides core datasette functionality. For the full
plugin ecosystem, pipx or a virtual environment is recommended.
