CDAT install

[khouakhi]

I couldn't correctly install CDAT modules. Any advice on how you did that?
I share a colab notebook with what I have tried with the conda list showing that cdms2 and cdutil but can't import them.

Hi @khouakhi
I saw your post at CDAT/cdat#2253. I never used colab notebook myself before, I tried a few different ways using the link you shared and got the same error as you posted. Is it possible to create and activate a separate conda environment using colab? I found a couple relevant stackoverflow posts:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53031430/conda-environment-in-google-colab-google-colaboratory
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49202649/how-to-build-libraries-via-conda-on-colab-research
  but couldn't get it to work. Do you know how to create and activate new an environment inside colab? Maybe we could try that approach.

@Xunius Thanks for that. Creating and activating a conda environement from colab should be:
!conda create -n myenv python=3.7
!source activate myenv
I think I have tried, but it didnt activate the created env. Some interesting discussions here
