This tutorial guides you through the process of installing Conda in your Colab.
Why do you need conda on Colab? Among other benefits, certain packages require Conda for installation. For example, trackpy installation: soft-matter.git...
Trackpy strongly recommends using Conda and not pip. Therefore, we need to set up conda environment for our colab notebook.
Miniconda system requirements: docs.conda.io/...

Very helpful thank you

Hi, thank you very much for your work. I would like to know why after "!conda install -c condaforge pims" I have "Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retreating with flexible solve." and then the code does not work

[@DigitalSreeni]

You can try setting up Conda channels and then installing the package: !conda config --add channels conda-forge !conda install pims

Thanks a lot !!!

I tried this procedure but installing Miniconda3 with python 3.8 (which I need for my package to work) and it does not work. Essentially, after installing the package and verifying it is installed with pip list, I get: "Module not found Error". Do you have any suggestions to solve this?

Same

Thanks for the lectures. I have a questions: in every frame , we find different number of obj ( close to each other ofcourse). my problem is as following: like the first particle in 1 frame is not the same 1st particle in a second frame. maybe it is detected in 1st 3rd frames but not in 2nd. how do I manage this?

I was struggling with the issue of installing a package but not able to import it. Your video helped me out. Issue resolved after adding the site-packages to the sys.path. Thank you!

[@nuwaisir]

You can use the --yes flag to automatically answer yes. e.g.: conda install [package_name] --yes

Hello Mr. Sreeni. Thank you for your amazing videos. Please, do not consider recording videos on machine learning/deep learning with C++ (Visual Code) ?. All the best.

I followed the steps, but Colab interactive notebook boxes are not using the same python version/libraries as I installed via pip under conda. Ex. I installed keras 2.2.4 via pip, but import keras print(keras.__version__) shows 2.9 even after restarting. Also python --version shows 3.7 while import sys print (sys.version) shows 3.8 .... any tips how to make Colab notebook use the same python/pip version as installed with Conda? Thank you!

[@vovaermakov]

For what its worth I found a workaround: %%python in the beginning of the cell will run the cell content with the 3.7 version that I installed. It probably won't share variables from other cells but this worked for me.

[@necuspam]

Hi, great tutorial (again)! Can you please provide an instruction on how to get porespy working in colab?

In 158 b video , i am getting this error. from keras.utils import to_categorical y_train_one_hot = to_categorical(y_train) y_test_one_hot = to_categorical(y_test) ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 from keras.utils import to_categorical 2 y_train_one_hot = to_categorical(y_train) 3 y_test_one_hot = to_categorical(y_test) ImportError: cannot import name 'to_categorical' from 'keras.utils' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/keras/utils/__init__.py)

See if this works: from tensorflow.keras.utils import to_categorical
