Installing additional packages

In python 2 notebooks you get everything that is installed in this environment. This container is a "base" container, to further customise it you should create your own docker container that inherits from this one and install things there.

To quickly try out a new package from the notebook simply run:



In [3]:

    
!conda install -n py27 -y scikit-learn
