Installing custom packages

[barwi_intc]

While importing certain packages like requests works just fine, how do I install and use seaborn? How can I use cell magic to display plots inline?

The following fails for me:

!pip install -U seaborn

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import seaborn as sns

Python cannot find seaborn. Similarly %matplotlib inline also fails. What can I use as a workaround?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

The error might be due to when we use ! in front of a Linux command, it will start a new terminal each time, so in this terminal your environment is not activated. 

You can follow any of the below workarounds provided.

Method 1: Start a Jupyter cell by using bash magic(%%bash). Now, export the correct python path and install the package.

Commands to be executed in the cell:-

%%bash

export PATH=/<python path>/:$PATH

pip install seaborn --user

pip install matplotlib --user

Method 2: Install the package from terminal

Step 1: Initialize the oneAPI environment

source /opt/intel/inteloneapi/setvars.sh

Step 2 : Activate the environment

conda activate <environment>

Step 3: Install seaborn and matplotlib in the environment

pip install seaborn --user

pip install matplotlib --user

Now, open the Jupyterlab on your browser and start the kernel.

Hopes this will resolve your issue. 

If the issue still persists please let us know, also share the error screenshots.

Thanks.
