Unable to pip install tensorflow_cloud in Colab

[Allan Kapoor]

While attempting to follow this official tutorial in a Colab notebook, I run the first line of code to install tensorflow_cloud:

!pip install -q tensorflow_cloud

And get this error:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts. multiprocess 0.70.12.2 requires dill>=0.3.4, but you have dill 0.3.1.1 which is incompatible. google-colab 1.0.0 requires requests~=2.23.0, but you have requests 2.26.0 which is incompatible. datascience 0.10.6 requires folium==0.2.1, but you have folium 0.8.3 which is incompatible.

When I try to import tensorflow_cloud with import tensorflow_cloud as tfc I get this error:

AlreadyExistsError: Another metric with the same name already exists.

Isn't tensorflow cloud designed to be run in Colab notebooks? Why does it have dependency conflicts with the standard Colab environment?
