We recommend installing `linode-cli` with `pipx`, which installs each Python CLI tool into its own isolated environment and works on distributions where `pip install` fails because the system Python is marked as externally managed ([PEP 668](https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/)). If pipx isn't installed yet, follow the [pipx installation guide](https://pipx.pypa.io/latest/how-to/install-pipx.html).

We recommend using `pipx` to install `linode-cli`, as it installs Python CLI tools in isolated environments and avoids conflicts with system-managed Python packages (PEP 668).
