Is it possible to install Prodigy on Google Colab Pro?

Getting Started

I would like to use Prodigy on Google Colab Pro in combination with Google Drive, since GPUs can be used there. Has anyone already used Prodigy on Google Colab and can tell me if this worked well?

Hi, I saw your post in this discussion but I'll reply here. Colab Pro only gives you access/high-priority to more resources , so the license still does not allow installation on a public server (or something that's not controlled by you). If you control a server in the cloud (say an Owner of a GCP or AWS account), then it may be possible to install Prodigy there (it still follows the same installation instructions and you can even setup a Jupyter integration)

@ljvmiranda921 - I guess your answer is a bit misleading (or I must have missed a big point) that you mentioned you can't install prodigy on google colab. I run the following command and it looks to have successfully installed it.

!python -m pip install prodigy -f https://my-prodigy-key@download.prodi.gy

Please explain more on this, if I didn't understand you well.

Thank you!

hi @Fantahun,

I suspect what LJ was referring to is that it's not whether you can or not install Prodigy on Colab, it's whether you're allowed to based on Colab's terms of services.

For example, Colab's FAQ mentions:

Resources in Colab are prioritized for interactive use cases. We prohibit actions associated with bulk compute, actions that negatively impact others, as well as actions associated with bypassing our policies. The following are disallowed from Colab runtimes:

  • file hosting, media serving, or other web service offerings not related to interactive compute with Colab
