[MohammadhNakhaei]

I would be grateful if you help me in installing the mxnet vesion 1.8.0 on pycharm on windows since it is not possible to be caught through pip install.

Haven't tried pycharm yet. Is that the only option for you to install on windows? Could it be Window's wsl or conda?

@mnakhaeecourse Do you need GPU support?

Hi @mcourse1993 . I think you can install mxnet in google colab easily using command like

!pip install mxnet==1.8.0

And I don't think command !pip install https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/archive/refs/tags/1.8.0.tar.gz is working for mxnet. Because there is no setup.py in mxnet directory(setup.py is exited in mxnet/python/ directory). If you want to install mxnet from source, you should build first and cd python && pip install --user -e
