Fastai Error : Does google colab come with Fastai

[mohit (Mohit Varma)]

Hello,

I read that I don’t need to install fastai when using google colab as google provides it through their cloud.
However, I am getting a

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named fastai.callback.all’

I came across a few posts on this forum which suggest to "update" fastai library or include fastai.callback package into the notebook manually.

My Question : if fastai is automatically included /loaded by colab then why I need to update it to the lastest version or include the “callback” function manually.

Thanks,

Colab comes with fastai v1, and they have not updated the preinstalled package it comes with for quite some time. This is why.
