The latest update provided by korakot works on Google Colab (2022 update):
!pip install talib-binary
Then simply import the library:
import talib as tb
Have you tried following instructions from here?

And change any sudo apt-get
to just !apt
. Any cd
to %cd
Update: try this
!wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
!tar -xzvf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
%cd ta-lib
!./configure --prefix=/usr
!make
!make install
!pip install Ta-Lib
