How do you install the keyboard module with root privileges?

[bryanhughes]

Normally, you would do a sudo pip install keyboard for it to gain root permissions. How can I do this is poetry?

Thanks!

don't do that, use a virtual environment.

Poetry can't do anything to increase permissions of a program you later run. In general, try to run things with the lowest permissions required. If this is about accessing /dev/input/* under linux, please check the group ownership of them, on my debian box they're group owned by "input", try adding your user to this group.

That is what I am asking. The keyboard module requires root access. I do not run my python app as sudo so I am trying to figure out how to pip install keyboard with root permissions.

This is a misunderstanding. It does not matter what user installs keyboard, it matters what user runs your app.
