### Your question

hello thanks for reading,

I am pretty new to this. Also first time ever posting on github do I apologise if i have got the etiquette wrong! Idon't have an IT background just an enthusiasm for AI.

I'm really struggling to install comfy UI onto google colab. I've copied each text block into its separate code section on colab and then pressed run on each one. The first code block has an error pasted here below. I'm hoping Ive just made some novice sort of error? really confused. I managed to install fooocus on colab but that was just copy and run the notebook..

any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
