Problem on installing Pycaret Full on Google Colab

I'm trying to install Pycaret Full on my Google Colab:

pip install pycaret[full]

But it's taking too long (over 6h) and it doesn't finish...

This seems related to the new dependency resolver of pip. Running above command in Google Colab will yield the following message several times:

INFO: This is taking longer than usual. You might need to provide the dependency resolver with stricter constraints to reduce runtime. If you want to abort this run, you can press Ctrl + C to do so. To improve how pip performs, tell us what happened here: https://pip.pypa.io/surveys/backtracking

You can see that pip tries to download several versions of the same package. An issue with suggestions how to cope with this problem has been opened here.

One of the suggestions that helps for now is to choose the old resolver behavior with --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver:

pip install --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver pycaret[full]

A test run installed pycaret in Google Colab in about 2 minutes.
