How to install pipx globally by the root user

[mil-ad]

I'd like to install pipx globally when instantiating a vm (e.g. using startup scripts when creating a vm on google cloud) and because my linux distribution doesn't have a recent pipx in its repos I'd have to go the sudo python3 -m pip install route. But this seems to want to install pipx in /root/.local/bin which doesn't seem right.

What is the endorsed way to install pipx globally by root user as part of setting up a new machine?

If the package installed by the default package manager does not meet your needs, you may try install pipx with pipx in global mode. As I mentioned in #1341. Though the documentation does not suggest doing so, but I use it quite well.
