you are using anaconda, that is why you are getting the following errors.

install python using apt-get, and use the default install, this should solve the problem.

I tried following the above steps, but received this message:

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.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
    
    See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

I am getting an error
python3 theHarvester.py -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/akkugadre/theHarvester/theHarvester.py", line 5, in
from theHarvester.theHarvester import main

from theHarvester import main
File "/home/akkugadre/theHarvester/theHarvester/main.py", line 13, in
import ujson
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ujson'

but ujson is installed I am not sure what I am doing wrong can some one please help?

I was able to get around it by using
python3 -m pip config set global.break-system-packages true
which I should probably not do since it promises to break system packages, but wth, i am on a personal system, little infractions are ok among friends right?!
