Using Nbdev with Google Colab

nbdev
21

Hi @mathew100,
I found your PyPI package nbd-colab, but I’m having trouble using it.
I followed your documentation and did the below but at the very beginning ran into an error. I guess I missed some steps…

I create a Colab notebook and run the below

!pip install nbd_colab
from nbd_colab import *
from nbdev import *

leading to the below error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AssertionError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-18-53c94a362f4e> in <module>()

      2 from nbdev import *

     44         add_new_defaults(self.d, self.config_file)

AssertionError: Use `create_config` to create settings.ini for the first time

I tried the below but got an name 'create_config' is not defined

create_config

Any input would be more than welcome :grin:
