Mount your Google drive folder on Colab.įor this section, click the blue hyperlink and select the Google account where you created the folder from step 2.Clone repository (2 code blocks in this section).
Press play on each of the code blocks in these sections (in total, you will press play on 6 code blocks): The button will stop spinning once that section has completely finished. The button will show a spinning circle while it's loading and may print some lines of text. It's time to run the code! Start at the top of your document and press the play button on the left side of each code block to execute that section of code.
This is required to install PyYAML, a YAML parser for Python code that helps read inputs and produce outputs. That said, this script won't work on every computer or mobile device as significant graphics processing capabilities are required to run it.Ĭopy and paste this exact line to the start of the first code block: !pip install PyYAML=5.3.1 It runs in the browser and doesn't require any additional downloads.
