What am I missing here? Can [fallible](https://pypi.org/project/fallible/) be installed using [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/)?

After installing `fallible` using `pipx` (following the [Ansible instructions](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#installing-and-upgrading-ansible-with-pipx)):

```bash
pipx install --include-deps fallible
pipx inject --include-apps --include-deps fallible jc

```

I have an error with [jc](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/):

```bash
fallible-playbook example.yml -C --diff -l example.org

TASK [apt : Validating arguments against arg spec 'main'] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
[ERROR]: Task failed: The filter plugin 'community.general.json_query' failed: You need to install "jmespath" prior to running json_query filter

```

That error is indicating that you need to install [jmespath · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/jmespath/)
