I am new to speech recognition and I wish to build an end-to-end asr system using kaldi-asr. My laptop does not have Linux and neither does it have enough hardware to train models. So, I planned to install Kaldi on colab( to leverage Free GPU) by following https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1rp2eZRHW9OYnA1WpRGeblG6fDSyyH-my#scrollTo=46b62_fSurBK, but it takes too long to install Kaldi on colab and once the session gets over, I am afraid I will have to install it again. Is there any way I can install kaldi permanently on Colab,so that whenever I open it again, I don't have to go through the process all over again. PLease help. Thank you.

Colab is not your only option here.
Kaldi is now integrated with Gitpod. Give it a try.
To make it work, simply click the Gitpod Ready-to-Code button on the heading of the README file or click this.

I made it simple and fast (60 sec) to install kaldi in Colab.
!pip install kora -q
import kora.install.kaldi
