Question

How do I install a python package

Answer 1

Hi, you can do

pip install foobar

And then restart your NB server to pick up the changes.

Let us know if you need further help.

I had already tried that (sorry, should have provided more details).

In a terminal:
leanne@datalab> pwd
/dlusers/leanne
leanne@datalab> pip list
bash: pip: command not found

Apologies, I meant

!pip install foo

(in a notebook cell)

Sorry again, I had also tried that. I get eh following error. I have closed and reopened the notebook.

!pip install ccdproc
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
The folder you are executing pip from can no longer be found.

I just tried your command in a NB cell, and it worked. Can you please try to restart your NB server? (not just the NB). Close all NBs, and go to File/HUb Control Panel/Stop My Server, and when it comes back, Start My Server. Then repeat the !pip install routine.

That worked, thanks Robert.
