Help installing/converting custom mouse cursors from Windows to Linux

So, really just for fun and preference, I want to install this mouse cursor that I was using a long time before switching to linux. Unfortunately, it is windows only. win2xcur seems to be an option to convert windows cursors, but being fairly new to linux I am unsure how to install it. Trying to follow the instructions and do pip install win2xcurleads to this output:

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try
    zypper install python313-xyz, where xyz is the package
    you are trying to install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-rpm packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3.13 -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-rpm packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use `pipx install xyz`, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Install pipx via `zypper install python313-pipx` .

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.

The error message provides the information you need on this - follow the instructions to create a Python “virtual environment”.
