Revision history [back]

following a suggestion at: http://ask.sagemath.org/question/1382/how-do-i-install-python-modules-or-use-a-different

it seemed that ./sage --python -m easy_install <package_name>

might work at the command line. plotly was in the python index so I tried

./sage --python -m easy_install plotly

which threw an error, perhaps because of my current directory, but

sage --python -m easy_install plotly

seemed to work, and after a restart of the virtual machine ( which might really be the key to success ) plotly did work in the notebook.
