My code is:

> from transformers import TrainingArguments
> 
> training\_args = TrainingArguments(“test-trainer”)

I get error:  
ImportError: Using the `Trainer` with `PyTorch` requires `accelerate>=0.20.1`: Please run `pip install transformers[torch]` or `pip install accelerate -U`

I have installed both libraries, but I still get the same error.

Is `accelerate` \> 0.20.1? And if so, and if you are in colab, please ensure you do Runtime → Restart Runtime. This is a very common error 🙂

Yes, restarting worked for me, thanks 🙂
