Hi Lucas,

It is possible to run IBridgePy using Google colab, but since it's a complex procedure, we do not recommend the method.

But since you asked, here are the steps:

Run Google colab with a local runtime. The runtime path must be same as IBridgePy folder. Refer to this link for examples and steps to connect a local runtime.
Start IB TWS application. Make appropriate changes to IBridgePy configuration files.
Use magic function %run to execute the RUN_ME.py inside Google colab. Refer to this article for example.
