devito in colab

Hi,

Recently, it gives this error when installing Devito in Colab.

"Collecting devito

What should be done to solve this problem?

Hi Vahid, indeed, there was an issue specifically with devito==4.8.4
that was fixed in 4.8.5. See changelog: v4.8.4...v4.8.5

You can try the latest versions, and it should work fine.

Let us know if it works for you
