Install issue on google collab

[tvercaut]

Thanks for the very helpful post here. I wanted to try your library and just started with google colab. Unfortunately it fails to install there:

!apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev
!pip install torch_sparse_solve

leads to

Is there a simple workaround?

I did not try running this library on colab yet. I think this might be a general issue with Google Colab only supporting wheels in stead of tarballs?

At some point I should probably start building some wheels for the most common platforms. I just don't really have the bandwidth at the moment 😔

Thanks for the heads up. I'll close my issue as there is no current plan to support it.
