Installing modules in jupyterlab online try online

Question

I am not from IT background and learning python for data analysis and biostats. I started using jupyterlab (https://jupyter.org/try-jupyter/lab). I can install and import few modules like pandas and numpy but can't install ipysheet. I tried few ways like using pip,%pip, piplite.install() but all attempts failed. Can you kindly suggest a way out? Or if you can suggest a way to use spyder online without installation? Many thanks.

You probably should install python or use Google Colab instead. Now you are using jupyterLite which is based on Pyodide. Pyodide doesn't support the installation of any python package. but Google Colab uses a real python kernel.

you can install your packages on Colab with:

!pip install some-package-name
