How do I fix an EXTERNALLY_MANAGED Python error?

This skill detects managed environments (like on modern Linux) and guides you through using a local venv to avoid system-level conflicts.

Do I need to manually create a virtual environment?

No, the skill provides specific commands to create a unified venv at ~/.bitwize-music/venv which the plugin detects automatically.

What should I do after running the setup?

Once the commands finish, restart Claude Code to reload the plugin and run the setup skill again to verify the status of all components.

What does the setup skill actually install?

It installs the MCP server, Matchering for audio mastering, Boto3 for AWS/cloud storage, and Playwright for web-based document hunting.
