Installing cuDF & cuML into Colab with Rapids.ai version 0.11+

Question

I'm trying to install Rapids library with cuDF and cuML to Colab session, and executing code accroding to this example: from Install RAPIDS library on Googe Colab notebook

!wget -nc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapidsai/notebooks-contrib/890b04ed8687da6e3a100c81f449ff6f7b559956/utils/rapids-colab.sh
!bash rapids-colab.sh

import sys, os

dist_package_index = sys.path.index("/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages")
sys.path = sys.path[:dist_package_index] + ["/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages"] + sys.path[dist_package_index:]```
sys.path
if os.path.exists('update_pyarrow.py'): ## This file only exists if you're using RAPIDS version 0.11 or higher
  exec(open("update_pyarrow.py").read(), globals())

during the installation process i got this error:

  - cudf=0.11

I have tried to install cuDF and cuML separately with

conda install -c rapidsai -c nvidia -c conda-forge \
    -c defaults cudf=0.12 python=3.6 cudatoolkit=10.0

but still receiving the error:

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)

<ipython-input-10-a95ca25217db> in <module>()
----> 1 import cudf
      2 import io, requests
      3 
      4 # download CSV file from GitHub
      5 url="https://github.com/plotly/datasets/raw/master/tips.csv"

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cudf'

how to solve this error?

Answer 1

UPDATE (12/21/2020): to jump right into a GPU powered RAPIDS notebook online you can use BlazingSQL (RAPIDS 0.15+) or continue using Colabratory (RAPIDS 0.14 only)

UPDATE (2/19/2020): Circling back to this question, Colab is working @try. Have fun!

Let us know if you have any other questions. If you need to update your personal Colab notebooks, please use this script to install RAPIDS:

# Install RAPIDS
!git clone https://github.com/rapidsai/rapidsai-csp-utils.git
!bash rapidsai-csp-utils/colab/rapids-colab.sh

import sys, os

dist_package_index = sys.path.index('/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages')
sys.path = sys.path[:dist_package_index] + ['/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages'] + sys.path[dist_package_index:]
sys.path
exec(open('rapidsai-csp-utils/colab/update_modules.py').read(), globals())

Previous response:

we are in the middle or transitioning our Colab scripts to a new repo. We should have all our notebooks updated soon and try to help others migrate as well. Like within 24 hours, if not by EOD today PST.
