How to upgrade pipx on Ubuntu

[air3ijai]

I'm checking how to use pipx as an universal way for Ansible installation - Installing and upgrading Ansible with pipx.

I can install pipx on Ubuntu

apt update
apt install pipx

# 22.04
pipx --version
1.0.0

# 24.04
pipx --version
1.4.3

And now, it is not clear how to upgrade pipx

apt upgrade pipx

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
pipx is already the newest version (1.4.3-1).
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I would recommend to install pipx with pipx, though it is not recommended in the documentation.

I started another discussion about the exact limitation, and that is actually how I use/upgrade pipx on ubuntu.

Thanks, I also read that note, but looks like it may be a way to get the latest version of the app

Install pipx

IMO, there might be some historical problems, but I did not realize anything now. I also submitted an enhancement here, hope it will be released in the next version. #1340
