Package cannot be a url - pipx install

Haven't been able to reproduce your error, but you shouldn't be using sudo to install using pipx. If that doesn't work, can you provide more information about the steps you followed

[s3c3r4t0r]

Pretty much I did a copy paste of the commands on the site. Only thing I really did different was:

1. When running "sudo apt install python3-pip", had to run sudo apt update to find the package
2. Re-ran "python3 -m pip install --user pipx" after ensure paths just to validate paths were correct.
3. At the end when trying to install via pipx, the command couldn't be found, so I installed pipx.

I am using the latest ova from the site as well... Also, I didn't have any issue installing this on my mac, not sure if that matters, but I am using vmware workstation 15 on windows 10 2004 Build...

Command History:

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt install python3

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
