How do I install a previous version of Tensorflow on Google Colab?

I uninstalled the pre-installed version of Tensorflow on Google Colab by using !pip uninstall tensorflow -y and then !pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu -y. Then I installed the version I desired !pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.4.1 which seems to work and it outputs Successfully installed tensorflow-gpu-1.4.1. However, when I run !pip show tensorflow I get WARNING: Package(s) not found: tensorflow.

I've already tried restarting the runtime after installing Tensorflow but that didn't work. I am also running a GPU runtime.

Also, when I run:

import tensorflow as tf print(tf.__version__)

I get the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

How could I solve this problem to correctly install Tensorflow 1.4.1? I've already tried restarting the runtime after installing Tensorflow but that didn't work. I am also running a GPU runtime.

Try reinstalling tensorflow with the following commands 

!pip uninstall tensorflow -y
!pip install  tensorflow==1.14

then restart runtime when asked in colab. You should be able to import the correct version of TensorFlow. 

%tensorflow_version 1.x
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)

1.14.0
