Install packages (or libraries) on the ubuntu server programmatically

Many times, we might need to install different packages or libraries on the server instance. Below are some snippets to achieve the same using Python code.

• install pip and anaconda packages

def loadPackagesNew(packagesList):
    print("downloading packages")
    for installPackage in packagesList:
        print(installPackage)
        subprocess.call(['/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/bin/pip', 'install',installPackage])

• install pip packages

def loadPackages(packagesList,packages):
    for installPackage in packagesList:
        if installPackage not in packages:
            subprocess.call(['pip', 'install',installPackage])
            print(f'Done with {installPackage}')

• install anaconda packages using anaconda

def loadPackagesConda(packagesList,condaPackageList):
    for installPackage in packagesList:
        if installPackage not in condaPackageList:
            (stdout_str, stderr_str, return_code_int) = Conda.run_command(Conda.Commands.INSTALL,'-y', installPackage,use_exception_handler=True, stdout_str=sys.stdout, stderr_str=sys.stderr)
            print(stdout_str)
            print(stderr_str)

• install Linux packages

def downloadLinuxPackages(packagesList):
    print("downloading linux packages")
    for installPackage in packagesList:
        print(installPackage)
        subprocess.call(['sudo', 'apt', 'install', '-y', installPackage])
