Whenever a Compute Canada wheel is available for a given package, we strongly recommend to use it by way of the <code>--no-index</code> option. Compared to using packages from PyPI, wheels that have been compiled by Compute Canada staff can prevent issues with missing or conflicting dependencies, and were optimised for our clusters hardware and libraries. See [[#Listing_available_wheels|Listing available wheels]].

Note that the above instructions require all of the packages you need to be available in the python wheels that we provide (see "Listing available wheels" below). If the wheel is not available in our wheelhouse, you can pre-download it (see "Pre-downloading packages" section below). If you think that the missing wheel should be included in the Compute Canada wheelhouse, please contact [[Technical support]] to make a request.
