DataCamp Workspace's cloud execution environments come pre-packaged with all the common data science and machine learning packages.
If you need additional packages, you can install these manually, but keep in mind that you will need to reinstall these packages every time you return to your workspace.
You should keep track of additional package installs at the top of your notebook, so you can easily rerun the commands when you return to your workspace and to ensure that workspace publications can complete without issues.
