a) Pip is the Python Packaging Authority’s recommended tool for installing packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI), which is a repository of software for the Python programming language (https://pypi.org/). Pip installs python packages in any environment. Type the following codes to Install a pip package in the current Jupyter kernel:
import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install 'package'
b) Conda is a cross platform package and environment manager that installs and manages conda packages from the Anaconda repository (https://repo.anaconda.com/) and the Anaconda Cloud (https://anaconda.org/). Conda installs any package in conda environments. Type the following codes to Install a conda package in the current Jupyter kernel:
import sys
!conda install --yes --prefix {sys.prefix} 'package' More tutorials on conda commands: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/index.html
