Install Libraries
Is there a way to install external libraries in Code Playground. Or there are image manipulation libraries in Adobe code playground Api's, if yes please provide links of guides on that.

The Code Playground is meant to help prototype and test code that you move into your full project later. The environment provides quick access to the Express APIs and SDKs, but doesn't support installing third-party libraries like you would in a local project.
Recommend this guide:

The Express platform doesn't expose any image manipulation APIs directly. You would use an external library for manipulating an image, then Express APIs to add the image to an Express document. I'd recommend exploring a few existing add-ons that use images to get a better feel for how things flow.
One of the common pattern you'll see for image add-ons is:
User uploads image to add-on (or provides link) --> Add-on does something to image --> Image is added to Express document

Is it possible to use external libraries with the local development?
