Installing conda on Google Colab for Data Science

In this video, I will show you how to install conda in Google Colab to enable your data science projects. Although "pip install" will allow you to install desired packages, the installation of some may require lengthy installation process and long list of dependencies as prerequisite. The "conda install" command will allow you to easily install essential packages along with their dependencies.

Which packages in Python do you use that are not already pre-installed on Google Colab? Love to hear from you all, comments down below! 👇

[SoCBrain]

Thank you!, this still works in 2023 :D

[emilchirila]

Short, concise and very helpful! Thank you man!

[hannahminas]

Thank you very much for your videos on Google Colab! Could you do a tutorial on how to use different environments in conda and how to activate/ deactivate them?

[rlabinesh]

Can you please put a video... How to do this in jupyter notebook

[ktmorgan]

Thank you for posting. Very clear and very useful!

[santiagovalenciaa]

Excellent video.
Greetings from Ecuador.

[mabyes]

Thank you very much. You explained it very well!

[saisudha]

Thank you sir for informative content in bioinformatics

[dohyun]

thank you!!! it was so helpful saved so much time thank you!!

[georgebatchkala]

Great tutorial, thank you very much!
Only one follow-up question: I have created a conda-environment in Google Colab after installing it as you explained. I tried to activate it using: '! conda activate my_env_name', however, I keep getting errors from Colab. Can you please cover it in your next video, or give a quick hint here :)

[li-pinjuan]

Thanks very much for the effort. I followed your tutorial and successfully install Conda with new version of Python. I am wondering if it is doable to add the kernel of the newer Python into the Jupyter (including kernels of Python3.6, Python2.7, and swift by default) rather than using the Colab notebook.

This doesn't work. I get the following error after I type !conda active [name of my environment]

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
To initialize your shell, run

$ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
- bash
- fish
- tcsh
- xonsh
- zsh
- powershell

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.

[MiguelSilva-vqqe]

Thanks a lot, this vid was really helpful , Is there a way to edit / .bashrc on Google colab. In order to finally use " conda activate my env" which Is py27

[roshanshihab]

I already have anaconda installed in my pc. Should I do something different?

[Peter]

Is there anyway to install the packages to your own defined directories? This way, I wouldn't have to reinstall them with each session.

[Tsung-ChihTsai-yc]

It's an amazing video, it helps me a lot!

I have an issue about creating new environment. After your two cells. I use "!conda create -n env37 python=3.7
!conda activate env37" But, it dosen't work. When I use "conda activate env37", it reveals "CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
To initialize your shell, run

$ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
- bash
- fish
- tcsh
- xonsh
- zsh

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.


Could you please tell me how to resolve it.

[jonasc]

Is there a way to keep the conda installation so that I do not need to install it every time I open colad?

[iqrawaheed]

successfully installed but suddenly this error appears not fetch /10 from backend

[archydragon]

Hi just wonder do i need to do this every time i try to open conda or this will save automatic
