Summary

This PR updates the installation instructions in README.md to recommend pipx instead of pip3.

Changes

  • Replaced pip3 install linode-cli with pipx install linode-cli
  • Added pipx upgrade linode-cli command
  • Added explanation about why pipx is recommended (PEP 668)

Why

Using pipx avoids conflicts with system-managed Python environments and follows modern Python best practices.

How to Test

  • Follow updated install instructions using pipx
  • Verify CLI installs and runs correctly
