I am fairly new to Linux and I need some advice regarding downloading packages. On the server that I use there are 2 pipelines that were developed by a software developer who has left and unfortunately I do not have the experience he has so I am struggling a bit with making changes.
I recently had to download a software to the server which I did and it seems to be working. However, there is an optional report I can get from that software but it needs some python packages. The manual says to install them like shown below:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
pip3 install numpy bokeh bs4
I am a bit worried about making changes to python in case it interferes with the pipelines even though each pipeline has its own environment. Is there a way to make sure that I can avoid that? Also, if I install numpy, bokeh, bs4 will I be able to uninstall them if they cause an issue? Finally, since I already have Python 3.6.8 on the server should I just do the pip3 install numpy bokeh bs4 step?
Thank you
