Arch Linux Gui

tried all the suggested ..various errors
kskroyal@archlinux ~]$ pip3 install meile-gui
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try 'pacman -S
python-xyz', where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Arch-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using 'python -m venv path/to/venv'.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.
If you wish to install a non-Arch packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have python-pipx
installed via pacman.
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've never used Arch before, so I guess it's a little fussy about installing system wide packages.
Create a virtual environment to install pip packages like so:
python3 -m venv ~/meile-venvThen active the virtual environment like so:
source ~/meile-venv/bin/activateand try the pip install that way. Make sure your python3 version is not greater than 3.10 because the dependency of Kivy (the UI framework) has not been built by that team for python greater than 3.10
