Answer: Use %pip install in a notebook cell
## Explanation In Databricks, there are several ways to install Python packages, but the question specifically asks for a method that installs packages **scoped at the notebook level** to **all nodes in the currently active cluster**. Let's analyze each option: **A. Run source env/bin/activate in a notebook setup script** - This activates a virtual environment but doesn't install packages - Not a method for installing packages **B. Use b in a notebook cell** - This appears to be incomplete or incorrect syntax - There's no standard `b` command for installing packages in Databricks **C. Use %pip install in a notebook cell** ✓ **CORRECT** - The `%pip install` magic command installs packages at the notebook level - When run in a notebook cell, it installs packages to all nodes in the currently active cluster - This is the recommended method for notebook-scoped installations **D. Use %sh pip install in a notebook cell** - This uses the `%sh` magic command to run shell commands - While it can install packages, it only installs them on the driver node, not all worker nodes - Not scoped to all nodes in the cluster **E. Install libraries from PyPI using the cluster UI** - This installs packages at the cluster level, not notebook level - These packages are available to all notebooks using the cluster - Not scoped at the notebook level as requested **Key Points:** - `%pip install` is the magic command specifically designed for notebook-scoped package installation - It ensures packages are installed on all nodes (driver and workers) in the active cluster - The installation is temporary and only persists for the duration of the notebook session - This is different from cluster-level installations which are permanent and affect all notebooks using that cluster
