Hi everyone, Super beginner question..

Do you know what line of code to add in a Jupiter Notebook in Python to use https://faker.readthedocs.io/en/master/ ? i tried the following

#pip install Faker

#from faker install Faker

#fake = Faker ()

#fake.name()

Yet i think i am missing an important step should i upload the packages into DSS or is there another way?

Kind regards,

Busy

    Hi @BusyBee
    ,

    You need to install Faker package in the code environment that you are using in your notebook.

    For this you need to go to Administration - Code Envs and then select the code environment that you are using and then go to Packages to install . Here you can add Faker package as Requested packages (Pip) and then press Update button:
