pymer4 in colab about pymer4

Hi @paris007 , as you can see from the docs website we do not recommend this method of install and cannot officially support it, but you can take a shot at getting a working R installation on collab using these instructions: https://eshinjolly.com/pymer4/installation.html#using-pip

Your other option is to pip install directly from github using bayes branch of this repo. It's very experimental and very much WIP, but can be installed entirely through pip. However, this branch uses pymc to fit models rather than lme4 so your results and interpretations may differ.

Hi @ejolly thank you for your quick reply. I ended up installing conda following instructions here: https://inside-machinelearning.com/en/how-to-install-use-conda-on-google-colab/#:~:text=To%20install%20conda%2C%20a%20library,install%20conda%20with%20the%20condacolab.
Then I ran this : !conda install --channel conda-forge featuretools --yes
I don't know what to do next because running !conda install -c ejolly -c conda-forge -c defaults pymer4
is not making progress.

here is the error I get:

@ejolly would you please comment on this before I give up and move on.
