Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I try to install matplotlib by usual way - use command line from terminal
(studiolab) studio-lab-user@default:~/sagemaker-studiolab-notebooks$ conda install matplotlib

then conda list confirms that matplotlib is installed

(studiolab) studio-lab-user@default:~/sagemaker-studiolab-notebooks$ conda list matplotlib

packages in environment at /home/studio-lab-user/.conda/envs/studiolab:

Name Version Build Channel

matplotlib 3.7.1 py39hf3d152e_0 conda-forge
matplotlib-base 3.7.1 py39he190548_0 conda-forge
matplotlib-inline 0.1.6 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge

but when I try to use matplotlib from notebook - it written it is not installed

closing current notebook and open new one is not helping

Expected behavior
(studiolab) studio-lab-user@default:~/sagemaker-studiolab-notebooks$ conda install matplotlib

should provide capability to use matplotlib from notebook

Notice I do have only one base environment

Based on your screenshots, it seems like you are installing matplotlib in the studiolab environment.

This environment should only be used for installing jupyterlab and jupyter server extensions. The environment used for notebook kernels is default, which you can see from the kernel dropdown default:Python.

There are two ways you can fix this problem:

1. In order to install packages into the default environment, you will have to activate the default environment so that they are available in your notebooks - conda activate default. After switching the environment, you can continue to install the packages you want.

2. Alternatively, the recommended way for installation as described here is to use %conda install <package> or %pip install <package> in a notebook cell which will ensure that the packages are installed in the correct conda environment without having to remember to activate it.

Hope this helps.

In order to install packages into the default environment, you will have to activate the default environment so that they are available in your notebooks - conda activate default

but as you can see from above
(studiolab) studio-lab-user@default:~/sagemaker-studiolab-notebooks$ conda install matplotlib
active environment is studiolab
do you mean studiolab is not default environment?

default and studiolab is the different environment.

I see, let me try

[MicheleMonclova]

can we close this issue?

[Sandy4321]

no closing pls, it is still bug

[icoxfog417]

We discuss the default and studiolab confusion at #218 and close this issue because installing matplotlib is possible in Studio Lab.
