I'm having following Python pip issue when tried to install howdy.. Please help

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Unpacking howdy (2.6.1) ...
Setting up howdy (2.6.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/howdy.postinst:145: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\
w'
  "davisking-dlib-\w+/(dlib/(http_client|java|matlab|test/)|"

>>> Upgrading pip to the latest version

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-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 python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
    sure you have python3-full installed.
    
    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 pipx installed.
    
    See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.

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.

Yup, still same. System-wide package installation has been disallowed on latest python versions without that flag
