I have dask and RAPIDS installed with pip

• when I search for: pip install dask_cudf
• original site is not exists anymore: https://pypi.org/project/dask-cudf/
• google stored site history: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:8in7y2jQFQIJ:https://pypi.org/project/dask-cudf/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk

I am trying to install it with the following code in the Google Colab Window %pip install dask-cudf

I get the following ERROR

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dask-cudf (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for dask-cudf

On the github page of CUDF is archived. How can I install it to google colab now? https://github.com/rapidsai/dask-cudf

Solutions I have tried

• [ARCHIVED] Dask support for distributed GDF object –> Moved to cudf -> So I install it from https://pypi.org/project/cudf/ %pip install cudf
• On the new Github page from where the achieved point to I can only see conda installation that doesn’t works with Google colab – https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf
• Rapids install: pip install rapidsai I thought this is an older version that may be not supported now

Answer

RAPIDS does not support pip install (https://medium.com/rapids-ai/rapids-0-7-release-drops-pip-packages-47fc966e9472) . Unclear on how you installed RAPIDS using pip. The pip install page for RAPIDS (https://pypi.org/project/rapidsai/) states that conda should be used in place of pip to install RAPIDS.

Please use one of the options provided on the RAPIDS getting started page (https://rapids.ai/start.html) to install RAPIDS.

Also, which version of RAPIDS are you using?

Since Google colab does not support python 3.7 or above, the latest version of RAPIDS cannot be installed on Google colab.
