Python • Help installing libraries

Hello all,

I am trying to install blinka for the bmp390 altimeter on a raspberry pi 2 zerow and I get the following message.

$ sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bmp3xx
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.

I have gotten this message with a lot of things lately and cant seem to install anything...please help
