Pre-installed software and custom configurations

1. Installing Python packages

• By default, the system environment provides two Python versions: 3.6 and 3.9. Both include common Python packages for modeling.

• If you need other packages, you can download them locally, then upload and install them. Follow these steps:

  1. Open Anaconda Prompt and activate the environment where you want to install the package. For example: conda activate py3

  2. Run the installation command. For example: pip install pandas -i https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple

2. Installing a custom kernel

If your organization has a pre-configured Anaconda kernel from a Windows environment, you can copy its folder directly into the secure environment.

• Follow these steps:

  1. Copy the configured kernel folder to the following location in the secure environment: C:\Anaconda3\envs

  2. Open Anaconda Prompt and run conda info -e to view the available kernels.

  3. Activate the corresponding kernel by running conda activate $kernel_folder_name

  4. Run the following command to register the kernel with Jupyter: python -m ipykernel install --user --name=$kernel_folder_name --display-name "$display_name_in_Jupyter"

  5. Start Jupyter Notebook by running jupyter notebook or by opening it from the desktop. When creating a new notebook, select the display name that you set in the previous step from the kernel list.
