   pip install jupyterlab-lsp
   

5. Install statistical and ML libraries

   conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn statsmodels -y
   pip install scipy
   pip install pingouin        # Statistics
   

6. Install data processing tools

   conda install -c conda-forge openpyxl xlrd -y  # Excel support
   pip install pyarrow fastparquet  # Parquet support
   pip install sqlalchemy      # Database connectivity
   pip install beautifulsoup4  # Web scraping
