Description
Recent Debian versions refuse to install packages as root with pip. Recent Fedora versions display a big warning message (although they proceed by default). This is a good idea, because installing with root uses the system Python, and installing things with that can cause unintended side-effects.
(I'm not sure I would recommend this either on macOS, but I have less knowledge about that.)
I would recommend steering people towards distribution packages. Debian stable has a somewhat old version (well, the version that was out when Debian stable was released), but Fedora tracks closely pgcli.
If people want to install a newer version, I'd recommend pipx, which is packaged for common distros, or uvx.
I'm happy to send a PR editing the README if you let me know what you would prefer.
