+### Option 3) Using Google Collab
+
+*Advantage: can store your progress on your Google drive, but requires Google account and additional setup*
+
+- The notebook can also be opened in [Google Collab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/openworm/hodgkin_huxley_tutorial/blob/master/notebooks/Python_HH_version/Python_Notebook_HH.ipynb), but you will need to add a new cell to the top of the notebook and paste the following to set it up to run properly:
+
+
+```
+from google.colab import output
+output.enable_custom_widget_manager()
+
+from google.colab import drive
+drive.mount("/content/gdrive")
+
+%cd /content/gdrive/MyDrive
+!ls
+!rm -rf hodgkin_huxley_tutorial  # remove this line if you do not want to remove your existing copy to create a new one
+!git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openworm/hodgkin_huxley_tutorial/
+%cd hodgkin_huxley_tutorial/
+!pip install -r requirements.txt
+%cd notebooks/Python_HH_version/
+```
+
+
+This does the following:
+
+- asks you to allow Google Collab access your Google Drive when run for the first time: please allow all permissions
+- mounts your Google Drive
+- copies the GitHub repositoriy into it under the "hodgkin_huxley_tutorial" folder
+- installs the required Python packages
