Another example of this is Python and its awful externally-managed-environment handling, for which the procedure for anyone who doesn't use Python every day boils down to:
1. Get instructions from somewhere, a web page, HOWTO, whatever, telling you to "pip install thing".
2. "× This environment is externally managed"
3. Spend awhile Googling how to get past this and just make the damn thing work while swearing.
This is from observing users in practice. Google "This environment is externally managed" and you'll get nothing but hits on (a) people asking what this means and how to make it go away and (b) various unsafe methods to make it so.
