I think the following paragraph should be re-written. I read this differently than what I think was intended.

The server comes with a default python environment that is not in Conda. This is the one that will be used in the JupyterLab terminal by default. If you install a package into this environment it will be saved in the `~/.local` directory. This means that any packages you install here will also persist through a server restart.
```
~$ pip install --user pytest
~$ ls .local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
magic.py __pycache__ pytest _pytest pytest-6.0.1.dist-info python_magic-0.4.18.dist-info
```

I think these lines better represent what was intended to be stated in that paragraph.

# Locally Installing Python Packages
If you install a python package normally it will be uninstalled when you end your server session.
To ensure that your python packages stay installed on your server account use ```--user``` when installing a package.
Example:
```
pip install --user pytest
```
