Installing jupyterlab_widgets in VM - lacking permission

Product Help Packages & Environments

Am I missing something? I’m running into the problem installing Jupyter lab widgets but can’t due to the lack of permission on a VM. Is that correct? I can’t install this package on the cloud? How do people make APPs?

Thanks

You will need to create your own conda environment to install packages. You cannot install into the pre-installed ones.
