install from git fails because of LFS on google colab

[rsxdalv]

There might be a misconfiguration within the project when it is being installed, or perhaps it's just due to how pip installs git packages:

error: Failed to download and build: `descript-audiotools @ git+[https://github.com/rsxdalv/audiotools@release#egg=descript-audiotools`](https://github.com/rsxdalv/audiotools@release#egg=descript-audiotools%60)

My question is also about why are these files are in git lfs given their tiny size.

I'm getting the same error, could you fix it?

This worked for me.

git lfs install --skip-smudge
pip install git+https://github.com/descriptinc/audiotools
git lfs install --force
