ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'arcpy'

Where do I go to install modules to run in AGOL Notebooks? I've read you can import them by running in a cell, for ex:

!pip install geopandas

But, why isn't arcpy accessible?

a quick look at the help topic

Use ArcPy in a notebook—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation

To use ArcPy in a notebook, ArcGIS Notebooks must be licensed with the Advanced license, and users must have the privilege to create and run Advanced runtime notebooks.

Thanks @DanPatterson , I did notice the different tiers of Notebooks when creating a new one albeit never bothered to try the Advanced one. So, i recreated the tool in an Advanced Notebook and I'm no longer getting the error.
