-sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
+sudo pacman -S ffmpeg python-pip tk
 ```
 
-To bypass environment setup and proceed with the installation, use:
+---
 
-- Take caution; this modifies system files.
+#### **Step 3: Set Up a Virtual Environment (Recommended)**
+Setting up a virtual environment (venv) ensures that the program's dependencies do not interfere with system-wide Python packages.
 
-```
-sudo rm /usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED
-```
+1. **Navigate to the extracted repository directory:**
+   ```bash
+   cd /path/to/ultimatevocalremovergui
+   ```
 
-Then proceed with the following in order:
+2. **Create a virtual environment:**
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   ```
 
-```
-chmod +x install_packages.sh
-./install_packages.sh
+3. **Activate the virtual environment:**
+   - For **Debian-based and Arch-based systems:**
+     ```bash
+     source venv/bin/activate
+     ```
+
+4. **Install dependencies in the virtual environment:**
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+---
+
+#### **Step 4: Run the Application**
+While the virtual environment is activated, start the application:
+```bash
 python UVR.py
 ```

+
+#### **Important Notes**
+1. **Avoid Modifying System Files:**  
+   Previous instructions suggested deleting the `/usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED` file, which is dangerous and can break Python package management. Do **NOT** delete this file.
+
+2. **Why Use Virtual Environments?**  
+   Virtual environments isolate the program's dependencies, preventing conflicts with system Python packages. More information is available [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75602063/pip-install-r-requirements-txt-is-failing-this-environment-is-externally-mana/75696359#75696359).
