Hello Isabel,

The steps needed to add python packages in your custom Linux image with Yocto:

in the mdm9x15-image.inc file (If your taget is wp85), add python “core” package

> IMAGE\_INSTALL += " python"

To add more python packages (optionals, depending on your needs):

> IMAGE\_INSTALL += " python-threading   
> python-math   
> python-io   
> python-pickle   
> etc…"

Idem with nodejs.

> IMAGE\_INSTALL += " nodejs"

Best regards,  
Sylvain
