Installing Python Packages

In order to install Python packages from PyPI (Python Package Index) using pip:

Click the New drop-down menu at the top right corner and then choosing Terminal.
When a new browser tab with terminal access, type the following command and press enter:
Code Block
pip install --user PACKAGE_NAME_1, PACKAGE_NAME_2, ...
Make sure to add --user option, which allows you to install the package in your local environment. Not doing so will return a permission error. Note that installation of a package is a one-time process. You will not have to re-install it once you have installed it.
Check the packages have been successfully installed.
Close the tab.

Note that installation of a package is a one-time process. You will not have to re-install it once you have installed it.
Check the packages have been successfully installed.
