Unable to install library

Assuming this is a nubie question.

Trying to install the Unicorn-hat Python library on a RPi Zero W with:

curl -sS https://get.pimoroni.com/unicornhat | bash

Getting this message:

Unicorn HAT/pHAT

Always be careful when running scripts and commands copied
from the internet. Ensure they are from a trusted source.

This script should -- only be run on a Raspberry Pi with RPi OS --

If you want to see what this script does before running it,
you should run: 'curl https://get.pimoroni.com/unicornhat'

Unicorn HAT/pHAT comes with examples and documentation that you may wish to install.

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.

Trying to control a RGBW light strip for a project. A SK6812 RGBW LED.

Not sure what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't look a Node-red problem or related question.
Please try the Unicornhat forum

Yup, are trying there too. Don't seem to get an answer there and was hoping for help here. It is not a Node Red problem, I understand. It seems to be a Raspberry Pi OS install problem. I am trying to install that library to be able to use the Neopixel node in one of my flows.
