# Package library location

You can set the location of packages that Python can use in the Spotfire Service for Python configuration settings.

Configuration property | Default setting | Description
--- | --- | ---
`packagePath` | none | The absolute path to the shared package library location. When specifying the path, you must use a forward slash regardless of operating system. If you install packages into your Spotfire® deployment using the SPK process, then this setting is not required. If you install packages onto the server using `pip install <packagename>`, then set this path to the package installation location.

## Example

    packagePath: /opt/python/library
    packagePath: C:/Python/Lib
