Yes, absolutely! You can install Python packages in Google Colab without internet access by uploading .whl
(wheel) files to your Google Drive and referencing them directly.
This is useful if you want to work offline or avoid pip install
from the internet.
✅ Step-by-Step: Install .whl
Files from Google Drive in Colab
Step 1: Upload .whl
Files to Google Drive
-
Upload the required
.whl
files (e.g.,gpt4all-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
, etc.) into a folder like:bash/My Drive/packages/
Step 2: Mount Google Drive in Colab
pythonfrom google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
After mounting, your files can be accessed at:
bash/content/drive/My Drive/packages/
Step 3: Install from the .whl
File
Use pip
to install from the local .whl
file path:
python!pip install /content/drive/My\ Drive/packages/gpt4all-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
✅ If the package has dependencies, you’ll also need to upload those .whl
files and install them similarly (order matters).
Step 4: Use the Package in Python Code
pythonfrom gpt4all import GPT4All
model_path = "/content/drive/My Drive/models/ggml-gpt4all-j-v1.3-groovy.bin"
model = GPT4All(model_path)
with model.chat_session() as session:
prompt = input("Ask something: ")
response = session.prompt(prompt)
print("GPT:", response)
📝 Notes
-
All
.whl
files must be compatible with your Python version (e.g., 3.10 or 3.11). -
You can also install multiple
.whl
files in one command:python!pip install /content/drive/My\ Drive/packages/*.whl
-
Some
.whl
files may depend onC++
or system binaries — those won’t work in Colab without internet unless compiled into the.whl
.
