ImportError: Using the Trainer with PyTorch requires accelerate = 0.20.1

Question

Please help me when I tried to use it in my Google Colab for transformers

error:

ImportError: Using the Trainer with PyTorch requires
accelerate=0.20.1: Please run pip install transformers[torch] or pip
install accelerate -U`

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

Answer 2

I had the same error in Colab with:

pip install transformers
from transformers import TrainingArguments
training_args = TrainingArguments(output_dir="test_trainer")
# ...
# ImportError: Using the `Trainer` with `PyTorch` requires `accelerate>=0.20.1`: Please run `pip install transformers[torch]` or `pip install accelerate -U`

What helped was:

!pip install transformers==4.28.0

(and restarting the runtime afterwards)
