I have MVT version: 2.2.6 on Ubuntu 23.04. When I run it, it says that version 2.5.0 is available! But when I run pip3 install -U mvt, I get this error:

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/python3.11/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.

Hey Matej, could you run which mvt-ios and post the output?

We'll probably update the installation instructions to recommend installing with pipx for the average use case.

which mvt-ios gives:
/home/matej/.local/bin/mvt-ios

which mvt-android gives:
/home/matej/.local/bin/mvt-android

You should be able to run pip install -U --user --break-system-packages mvt without borking anything :)

We'll update the README to use pipx in future
