Each Plot notebook runs on its own dedicated compute instance and uses dependencies from the plots-faas conda environment. With SSH access, you can directly connect to the underlying environment to inspect current dependencies or install new ones as needed.

Connect to Plot notebooks via SSH

Visit our documentation here to set up SSH access and connect to your Plot notebook.

​
Install new packages

After connecting to Plot via SSH, activate the plots-faas conda environment by running: 
mamba activate plots-faas
Inspect the existing dependencies by typing: 
mamba list
Install new packages using mamba install like so: 
mamba install scanpy
Pro-tip: With terminal access to the underlying Plot’s compute instance, you’re not limited to just conda packages—you can also install Linux packages and other software.
