Installing PyTorch in Google Colabs

Question

I am currently trying to run my code in Google Colabs and for that I need PyTorch. This is the feedback I got.

I read that it could have to do with Numpy and tried another version, which also failed.

Answer 1

Remove the old numpy and run the following code.

pip install -U numpy

Found the solution here.
