running this cell in colab

from transformers import TrainingArguments

training_args = TrainingArguments("test-trainer")

results in the error

NOTE: If your import is failing due to a missing package, you can
manually install dependencies using either !pip or !apt.

the fix is to add accelerate in this pip install cell (first cell)

!pip install datasets evaluate transformers[sentencepiece] accelerate -U

@scndel thanks 😁

@scndel can you merge it?

note: if editing the first cell manually after running into the problem, you need to restart it after updating (e.g. os.kill(os.getpid(),9)) as https://github.com/huggingface/notebooks/pull/442 did
