I am working on ignition installed on my local pc.  
I installed some missing libraries on ignition and added them to the Ignition/user-lib/pylib folder. The libraries work.

I would like to know the procedure that must be applied to install a library on the ignition server.

Installing or adding new libraries won’t damage applications that are running on the server or cause data loss?

That's the procedure. Requires direct access to the server's filesystem.

If you add a library that shares a name with any script module in your application, expect breakage.
