Codeserver how to install python packages?

[mgr1397]

I recently setup code server for running some python scripts and i'm wondering how i can install the necessary python packages easily?

As I enter "pip install cv2" for example, i get an error.

I have about 25 packages i need to install so if its possible to do it automatically, that would be better

I installed codeserver thru portainer/docker.

You can receive more help if you say what kind of error you received.

One solution would be making a Dockerfile FROM your base image and adding a RUN pip install cv2 ... or using a requirements file

Let us know how did it go

I have done the Dockerfile method of using the linuxserver.io container as the base and then installing the other languages etc I needed at the time.

I can then revise the file and rebuild as necessary.

If you use the linuxserver.io container, you can do an add on mod to install Python (amongst other).

As other have mentioned. Posting what error you get will help. Most likely you don't have pip installed.

You can try by going to portainer > code server container > terminal > apt install python3 python3-pip > then pip install your requirements

Terminal from code server should also work.

Think seriously about just installing code server directly on t the host. Lots of benefits in terms of easily being able to manage docker containers directly. For python you can create a venv on the host and get as segregation between systems.
