## Using `uv pip`

If using the `uv pip` interface instead of the uv project interface, uv requires a virtual environment by default. To allow installing packages into the system environment, use the `--system` flag on all `uv` invocations or set the `UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON` variable, e.g.:
If using the `uv pip` interface instead of the uv project interface, uv requires a virtual environment by default. To allow installing packages into the system environment, use the `--system` flag on all `uv` invocations or set the `UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON` variable.

### Setting `UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON`

`UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON` variable can be defined in various scopes:

i. Workflow-wide Environment Variables

Set the variable for the entire workflow by defining it at the top level:

```yaml title="example.yml"
env:
UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON: 1

jobs: ...
```

ii. Job-specific Environment Variables

Set the variable for a specific job within the workflow:

```yaml title="example.yml"
jobs:
install_job:
env:
UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON: 1
...
```

iii. Step-specific Environment Variables

Set the variable for a specific step:

```yaml title="example.yml"
steps:
- name: Allow uv to use the system Python by default
run: echo "UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON=1" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- name: Install requirements
run: uv pip install -r requirements.txt
env:
UV_SYSTEM_PYTHON: 1
```

Now, `uv pip` can modify the system environment without creating and activating a virtual environment.
