Installing gsl on a Databricks cluster

Hello,
I am trying to install the GNU Scientific Library on a Databricks high-concurrency cluster. When I run the following shell script:

%sh
sudo apt-get install libgsl-dev

The script keeps running forever, even though the file is about 8Mb big. Has anyone ever installed gsl on a Databricks cluster? If yes, how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information from me, please feel free to ask.

Thank you!

    Hello @ArkoBose-1978,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform.

    If you run an apt-get command without the -y option, you need to answer to all prompts that you get from that command interactively in order for the execution of the command to continue.

    • If you are using without “-y”, this command will be keep on running until we accept to answer to all prompts. 
         %sh
     sudo apt-get install libgsl-dev
    • If you are using with “-y” it will automatically say yes to all the prompts and complete installation. 
         %sh
     sudo apt-get install -y libgsl-dev
