Packages and Binaries:

pipx

pipx allows you to…

• Run the latest version of a CLI application from a package in a temporary virtual environment, leaving your system untouched after it finishes.
• Install packages to isolated virtual environments, while globally exposing their CLI applications so you can run them from anywhere.
• Easily list, upgrade, and uninstall packages that were installed with pipx.

pipx runs with regular user permissions, never calling “sudo pip install”.

pipx

Install and execute apps from Python packages.

root@kali:~# pipx -h

            {install,install-all,uninject,inject,pin,unpin,upgrade,upgrade-all,upgrade-shared,uninstall,uninstall-all,reinstall,reinstall-all,list,interpreter,run,runpip,ensurepath,environment,completions}
            ...

Install and execute apps from Python packages.

Binaries can either be installed globally into isolated Virtual Environments
or run directly in a temporary Virtual Environment.

Virtual Environment location is /root/.local/share/pipx/venvs.
Symlinks to apps are placed in /root/.local/bin.
Symlinks to manual pages are placed in /root/.local/share/man.

optional environment variables:
  PIPX_HOME              Overrides default pipx location. Virtual Environments
                        will be installed to $PIPX_HOME/venvs.
  PIPX_GLOBAL_HOME       Used instead of PIPX_HOME when the `--global` option
                        is given.
  PIPX_BIN_DIR           Overrides location of app installations. Apps are
                        symlinked or copied here.
  PIPX_GLOBAL_BIN_DIR    Used instead of PIPX_BIN_DIR when the `--global`
                        option is given.
  PIPX_MAN_DIR           Overrides location of manual pages installations.
                        Manual pages are symlinked or copied here.
  PIPX_GLOBAL_MAN_DIR    Used instead of PIPX_MAN_DIR when the `--global`
                        option is given.
  PIPX_DEFAULT_PYTHON    Overrides default python used for commands.
  USE_EMOJI              Overrides emoji behavior. Default value varies based
                        on platform.
  PIPX_HOME_ALLOW_SPACE  Overrides default warning on spaces in the home path
