installation is pretty easy however there is conflict between cuda driver fastai2 needs for its pytorch and one the one installed on colab.

This should be solved by now. But if not, install with Light the Torch:

Google Colab GPU not working

Due to the most recent release of pytorch installing the proper torchwheels based on your CUDA version isn’t quite automated yet for colab. As a result I would recommend using the following to install fastai and pytorch: !pip install light-the-torch >> /.tmp !ltt install torch torchvision >> /.tmp !pip install fastai --upgrade >> /.tmp (Run that in a cell)
