Hi all,
I would like to install the Python library 'pyodbc' in order to extract data from a database using a custom database driver. However, I get errors when I try it to install via PIP. I found out that this could be caused when the ODBC header files are not installed (link). To do this, a sudo command is neccessary which requires admin login credentials for the jovyan environment. Since these are not shared, can somebody help me to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Jan-peter
Hi Jan-Peter,
I was searching internally if there were some topics related to admin login credentials for the jovyan environment but I could not find anything. In this case I would recommend reaching out to our ServiceDesk so your request can be routed to the appropriate backend engineer.

Hi Jan,
Even if someone shared the credentials, once the workbench restarted, you would need to do sudo again.
As a suggestion, you can use your own environment locally. This way you could install the libraries.

Hi @kevin.flesc and @gabriel.okaba11,
Thanks for you time to look for solutions. We successfully created an initial data pipeline using a local environment indeed, and working now with the Celoxtractor method to make it more user friendly.
Kind regards,
