Greetings,

I have an instance in FlowFuse where I need to execute some Python scripts that use libraries like pandas, sklearn, and joblib amongst others.

However, I get the error: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'"  
and when I try to pip (or pip3) install pandas, I get a "/bin/bash: line 14 Permission denied" error.

What is the workaround for that?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Kind Regards

Hi @nsakellion,

It seems like the `pandas` module is not installed, and when you try to install it, you're getting a "permission denied" error. This usually happens due to a lack of administrative privileges.

Try installing `pandas` with admin privileges in the terminal first. Once it's installed, you can proceed with other operations from node-red

Also, did you checked this article [Calling Python Script from Node-RED](https://flowfuse.com/blog/2024/07/calling-python-script-from-node-red/), it might provide additional helpful insights.
