How to install packages/modules in colab
Google Colab/colaboratory is a free Jupyter notebook environment that runs entirely in the cloud. Most importantly, it does not require a setup and the notebooks that you create can be simultaneously edited by your team members,it is one of the top service provided by google in to tech industry💓
from google.colab import drive
import os
import required modules -->most of the library/modules are available in
colab(so we don't need to install it manually - just import and we are free
to start )
in case if the module is not available we have to manually install
it
I'm working on a project in which i want to create chunks of a .wav
file
(cutting a single wav file into multiple wav file of small size )
6sec single audio into >> four 1.5 sec audio
(6/1.5=4)
for that purpose i need to import "pydub" module which is not available in
colab ,
So we can add it simply by using the following command💫
!pip install pydub
yaah..as simple as this!💥
we can keep it as our first line of code, so when ever we run the code it
it will do this installation first , if requirement already
satisfied - obviously it will skip this line.
That make our code more easy to share -- we can just copy and send the
code --
feel like sharing our virtual environment folder , The next person can
simply paste the code in his/her colab and BooM! It will install the
package and start running without any issues.
so the code will be like
Python code :
!pip install pydub
from google.colab import drive
import os
from pydub import AudioSegment
from pydub.utils import make_chunks
