Installing software packages in Jupyter

    šŸ›ˆĀ If you need additional packages or dependencies for your course, pleaseĀ contact our support team: dl.min@uni-hamburg.de. To avoid multiple user installations, we can add them to the Docker container.
    In JupyterLab, you can install new packages or dependencies via the command line. Here are the steps:

    1. Go to the launcher: In the left sidebar, click the blue button with the plus.
    2. Start a terminal: Select the terminal in the last section of the launcher. A bash environment will now start.
    3. Install the packages: Depending on the package manager, enter the appropriate command and then pressEnter:
      • Python:
        pip install <paketname>
        To install several packages at once, separate their names with a space.
        The files are installed inĀ .local/lib/python3.11/site-packages.

      • R:

        R --no-save <<< "pak::pkg_install(c('<paketname>'))"

        To install several packages at once, separate their names with a comma. The package manager ensures that all required dependencies are installed automatically.
        The files are installed inĀ .local/share/R.

      • Ruby:
        gem install <paketname>

        To install several packages at once, separate their names with a space.
        The files are installed inĀ .local/libshare/gem.
