From 3aee04cbb93c0e479b040e682b2aef676629c9a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Micha=C5=82=20G=C3=B3rny?= Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2020 09:14:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] install: Raise an error to avoid breaking python-exec Running pip without --target, --prefix, --root, or --user will result in packages being installed systemwide.
