run on colab and error

[alinemati45]

thanks a lot for your afford.

I ran it on google colab, there is an issue here:

OSError Traceback (most recent call last)
in <cell line: 2>()
1 roadmap = Roadmap(400, 400, colour_theme="BLUEMOUNTAIN")
----> 2 roadmap.set_title("My Demo Roadmap")

Hi, it seems like your notebook is running on Linux platform. Please see this page (https://github.com/csgoh/roadmapper/wiki/installation) for additional steps to install Arial font on Linux. This is a known dependency for now, and the aim is to remove the reliance on the 'Arial' font for the Linux platform in the next release.

Nope. I simply run it on google colab and on windows 11.
Thanks in advance.

Referring to your screenshot, the file path shows that you are running your notebook on Linux. So my suggestion to install Arial font on linux still applies. 😉

I managed to get it to work. See the updated notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1-ZJyoL2jllza5ATF3krXTfsfbYE7mvLf?usp=sharing

Few things to add/change:

• Install Arial font onto Linux OS
• Add "matariki-tech-logo.png" file to your drive

With the latest release, version 1.2.1, there should be no need for a Linux-specific setup anymore. If you do not specifically add the Arial dependency, Roadmapper will use an available font from your OS.
