google colab 中的 root 中缺少 datalab 文件夹

Question

I'm trying to run some machine learning in Google Colab.

However, there is one line that says

%cd ~/datalab

But it can't find the 'datalab' folder.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/datalab'

I checked if it's there in content and root using !ls and os.listdir but there's nothing.

I also tried mounting my content folder but it doesn't fix the datalab problem.

Why is 'datalab' missing?

How can I fix it?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The error names the problem. You'll want to create the directory before attempting to switch to it using a command like:

!mkdir -p /root/datalab
