Hi @<1578555761724755968:profile|GrievingKoala83> ,where are you setting agent.package_manager.system_site_packages ? This should affect python packages (pip will still look for them, but should not reinstall).
Also, you can use the agent's CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL and CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PYTHON_ENV_INSTALL env vars (see here )
