Can't find kaggle.json file in google colab [very much related]
I am running Windows 10 box to run Google Colab.
My first cell runs fine
!pip install -Uqq fastbook
!pip install --user graphviz
!pip install kaggle
!pip install dtreeviz
as does
from fastbook import *
but this throws an error
from kaggle import API
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/kaggle/api/kaggle_api_extended.py in authenticate(self)
164 raise IOError('Could not find {}. Make sure it\'s located in'
165 ' {}. Or use the environment method.'.format(
--> 166 self.config_file, self.config_dir)) 167 168 # Step 3: load into configuration!
OSError: Could not find kaggle.json. Make sure it's located in /root/.kaggle. Or use the environment method.
Some commentators have said to put kabble.json in
c:\Users\rph.kaggle ## rph being my user account on the box
others have said to put the file in
%HOMEDIR%.kaggle
Well, I have done both.
Putting the file in [c:\Users\rph.kaggle] meant that the file was in [%HOMEDIR%.kaggle]
But the same error still gets thrown.
What next?
