Install in Google Colab? about metaflow

[romain-intel]

Hello @leocaldeira, I tried it on colab.research.google.com and it works if you do the following:

import os
os.environ['USERNAME'] = 'leo'
!pip install metaflow
!metaflow tutorials pull
!python metaflow-tutorials/00-helloworld/helloworld.py run

You can then use the client directly like so:

from metaflow import Flow
f = Flow('HelloFlow').latest_successful_run
...

Let me know if this helps.

Use a ! before your pip command.

i.e. - !pip install metaflow

metaflow is a binary auto generated by setup tools. You can either do: os.system or subprocess module and launch which metaflow. You can run the remaining commands in a similar fashion.
And let us know if the issue persists.

I tested it in other ways and got the same feedback...
@seeravikiran or @casey-barr can u send me a example?

Using ! in front of metaflow worked perfectly.
