Pipx package in Ubuntu 24.04 is obsolete, how to properly upgrade to 1.6.0

[Frédéric Metrich]

Pipx is in version 1.4.3 in Ubuntu 24-04.

How to upgrade to the 1.6.0 properly ? (without breaking anything ! )

[Xuan (Sean) Hu]

I personally recommend install pipx with pipx!

pipx install pipx
# And optional remove the obsolete apt pipx!
sudo apt purge --autoremove pipx

You may need to restart the shell or run command hash -r to make pipx command work.
