Installing additional packages

To install additional packages in Python notebooks you can use pip. You can install packages globally using pip install <package_name>, however these installs will not persist across notebook restarts. If you wish to install a package persistently, you must install it to your user directory with pip install --user <package_name>.

Example

If we were to install the geopandas package:

pip install geopandas # will not persist
pip install --user geopandas # will persist
