How can I use pip to install Python libraries in MATLAB Online environment?

I want to use Python codes in MATLAB Online. However, MATLAB Online environment does not provide "pip" command as it is.

!python -m pip install numpy panda

/usr/bin/python: No module named pip

How can I install additional Python libraries in MALTAB Online environment?

You can download a certain Python script that helps you install pip environment first.

websave("get-pip.py","https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py");
!python get-pip.py

!python -m pip --version

pip 24.2 from /home/matlab/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)

Then, you can now install Python libraries via pip as such:

!python -m pip install numpy
