This is a complicated issue. Below is my advice, others may differ. Use pip3, no sudo. You want to run it as a --user, and put it in a directory in your home directory e.g. pipinstalls. That way you will not interfere with already installed system libraries. man pip3 Fedora pip3 will check if an install will shadow a system library and stop, letting you know when it closes. You will have to add this directory to the end of your $PATH in .bashrc so it can be found by the system when you want to run something from it. For compatibilty, always use the Fedora package when it is available, barring extenuating circumstances. It is known to be compatible with the rest of the system. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
