Colab cannot find an installed a package

I'm trying to install a package called fenics in Google Colab.

I tried both:

!pip install fenics

>> fenics in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (2019.1.0)

and 

!apt-get install fenics

Then a simple import fenics raises ModuleNotFoundError. Restarting the runtime doesn't solve the problem. Any clues?

Solution

  • Following the instruction

    !apt-get install software-properties-common
!add-apt-repository ppa:fenics-packages/fenics
!apt-get update
!apt-get install --no-install-recommends fenics

    Then you can import fenics. Here's the notebook I tested.
