Help python /rasberry

Hello everyone,
I need help installing the Python packages webdriver-manager and pyautogui on my Raspberry Pi. I tried using the pip install webdriver-manager and pip install pyautogui commands, but I received the following 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.
For more information visit http://rptl.io/venv
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.
---------------------------
I also tried using sudo apt-get install python3-webdriver-manager and sudo apt-get install python3-pyautogui, but the packages could not be found.
My goal is to use the ChromeDriverManager modules from webdriver-manager and pyautogui in my Python code, but I'm stuck because of this installation issue.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for solving this problem, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks in advance !
ps: I use all this as a library and I would just like to run my code :import random
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import requests
import json
import random
import time
from datetime import datetime
import requests
import pyautogui
import requests
from io import BytesIO
import discord
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio
The solution to what you need to do is there:
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.

And no, I have no experience with venv.
