Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions asked about EGI Notebooks

How do I install library X?

You can install new software easily on the notebooks using conda or pip. The %conda and %pip magics can be used in a cell of your notebooks to do so, e.g. installing rdkit:

%conda install rdkit

Once installed you can import the library as usual.

Warning

Any modifications to the libraries/software of your notebooks will be lost when your notebook server is stopped (automatically after 1 hour of inactivity)!

Can I request library X to be installed permanently?

Yes! Just let us know what are your needs. You can contact us via:

Opening a ticket in the EGI Helpdesk, or
Creating a GitHub Issue

We will analyse your request and get back to you.
