    Hi BoSe ,
    I have checked with the internal team. 
    Apologies for the issue. We cannot use apt install command in Fabric Notebooks. This is not supported. 

    But you could share your feedback on our feedback link which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

    Thank you.

Hi BoSe ,
The library which you have mentioned requires os level installation, which cannot be supported in MS Fabric Notebooks. OS level support is not feasible for the SaaS platform like Fabric.  
Can you please try downloading the library and its dependency as whl file and install as custom library? 
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further queries.
