Ricing with pywal on Tumbleweed

I’m ricing Tumbleweed but i have issues tryng to install pywal and i instaled on Git hub but i i make all the phases and i’m having issues with pip
I git cloned and i put to the file cloned and i started to install:

┌[nicodani☮localhost.localdomain]-(~)
└> cd pywal 
┌[nicodani☮localhost.localdomain]-(~/pywal)-[git://master ✔]-
└> pip3 install --user
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try
    zypper install python311-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 python3.11 -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 python311-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.

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 24.0 -> 24.1.1
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip

As the message says, the recommended way of installing third party python packages is to use a virtual environment using the venv setup.

alternatively, run sudo zypper in python311-pywal to install the version that’s in the repos - and if that version doesn’t work, ask for someone to assist with those issues using the installed version.

But how i solve the issue of pip version because i try to upgrade and do the same error

Don’t worry about the pip version - it is managed by zypper on openSUSE, and when a newer version is packaged and distributed, you’ll get it through the normal update process.
