How can I use a system installed python package within a virtual environment?












2














I am using jupyter notebook on an Ubuntu server. To connect from my local machine, I am using an ssh tunnel.



jupyter is installed in a virtual environment.



This server has a tensorflow installation that was compiled and installed from source using bazel in order to be compatible with specific hardware of the server. I want to be able to use that installation of tensorflow from my virtual environment.



How do I go about doing this?

  • @NiallCosgrove Thanks, but I found an easier way. Simply removed the no-global-site-packages.txt file. I was searching for this since yesterday, but probably I was googling the wrong keywords.
