For me this is working:

!pip install talib-binary

Both on Colab and Kaggle.

Answer 2

For me, copying the following 4 lines to Colab worked:

!wget https://launchpad.net/~mario-mariomedina/+archive/ubuntu/talib/+files/libta-lib0_0.4.0-oneiric1_amd64.deb -qO libta.deb
!wget https://launchpad.net/~mario-mariomedina/+archive/ubuntu/talib/+files/ta-lib0-dev_0.4.0-oneiric1_amd64.deb -qO ta.deb
!dpkg -i libta.deb ta.deb
!pip install ta-lib
