Colab: avoid pip install fastai2 on every notebook

akil · March 26, 2020, 2:05pm

I added the course-v4 repo to my Drive. Is there a way to avoid installing fastai2 !pip install fastai2 on every notebook I open from the course-v4/nbs repository?

Could be nice to do this once.

You can use “!pip install -r /content/fastbook/requirements.txt” to install all the requirement.
example:

github.com

JonathanSum/Fastbook_colab/blob/master/60_medical_imaging.ipynb

{
  "nbformat": 4,
  "nbformat_minor": 0,
  "metadata": {
    "jupytext": {
      "split_at_heading": true
    },
    "kernelspec": {
      "display_name": "Python 3",
      "language": "python",
      "name": "python3"
    },
    "colab": {
      "name": "60_medical.imaging.ipynb",
      "provenance": [],
      "collapsed_sections": [

      "include_colab_link": true
    }

No. Colab works on instances. You don’t get the same one each time so you need to install fastai2 each time.
