Where to start

Connected host → Packages → Environment

Follow the steps

1. 1Discover server environmentsOpen the remote Packages panel and refresh environment discovery. Python and the required packages must be installed on the server.
2. 2Select the interpreterChoose the Python environment and check its path. Use the intended virtual environment instead of assuming every python3 is identical.
3. 3Check its packagesThe installed-package list belongs to the selected interpreter. Install missing packages there when you have permission.
4. 4Run a small verificationRun the example remotely and check the interpreter path and operating system. A remote result uses server hardware, not the iPad GPU.

Check the result

Run the example remotely and check the interpreter path and operating system. A remote result uses server hardware, not the iPad GPU.

If it does not work

• For a timeout, check the host, port, network route and server availability.
• For authentication failures, check the username and matching password or private key.
• If the host fingerprint changes, verify it through a trusted channel before replacing the saved fingerprint.
