First, head over to the "Startup" tab which can be found in the top bar or on the side bar.

Once there, look for either `ADDITIONAL NODE PACKAGES` or `ADDITIONAL PYTHON PACKAGES` variables. After you find it, enter the packages separated using spaces like `discord.js@13 node-fetch moment`. Don't enter any commands here such as `npm install` or `pip install`, just enter the packages separated using spaces.

Head on back to the "Console" tab and start your server. If there's a lot of packages you want to install, it may feel like the server is not doing anything, but it takes time to install those packages, take a look at the CPU usage and if it's high then it's probably installing your packages.
