Manual install docs: venv or --break-system-packages? #646

Description

@MikeBishop

When attempting to run a fresh install following the docs, the Manual path runs "sudo pip3". This is problematic as, first, pip3 will warn about installing on a system where the system provides Python/pip and requires passing --break-system-packages if you really want to anyway. The recommended path is to create a venv.... except that the Makefile runs "sudo" which escapes the venv and runs the system pip anyway.

I'm not sure whether the right fix here is a doc fix or a Makefile fix, but the instructions as currently listed don't work on a Trixie Raspberry Pi OS install.
