Tutorial is outdated

Python Version

Google Colab currently uses Python 3.10, while the dingo project requires Python 3.8, making it difficult to install dingo on Google Colab.

Outdated content

1. Dependence and installation:
   

   dingo/tutorials/dingo_tutorial.ipynb

   Lines 462 to 467 in e89128c

   	"!apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev &> /dev/null\n",
   	"%pip install sparseqr &> /dev/null\n",
   	"%pip install Cython &> /dev/null\n",
   	"%pip install cobra &> /dev/null\n",
   	"%pip install kaleido &> /dev/null\n",
   	"%pip install pyoptinterface[highs] &> /dev/null"

   
   

   dingo/tutorials/dingo_tutorial.ipynb

   Line 573 in e89128c

   "!python setup.py install --user &> /dev/null\n",

   
   The README recommends using poetry.
   

   dingo/README.md

   Lines 60 to 62 in e89128c

   	curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --version 1.3.2
   	poetry shell
   	poetry install

2. Ignored lpsolve Library:
   

   dingo/README.md

   Lines 44 to 49 in e89128c

   	You will also need to download and unzip the lpsolve library:
   	```
   	wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/lpsolve/files/lpsolve/5.5.2.11/lp_solve_5.5.2.11_source.tar.gz
   	tar xzvf lp_solve_5.5.2.11_source.tar.gz
   	rm lp_solve_5.5.2.11_source.tar.gz
   	```

I think we should abandon Google Colab and switch to something more convenient and ready-to-use. GitHub Codespaces might be a good choice.

Or package it into a Docker image.

@KeShih interesting, I haven't use Github Codespaces. What are the advantages over google colab? For example, how is this issue solved easier on codespaces vs colab?

Or package it into a Docker image.

This should be independent from the cloud option and should be useful anyways, see #79 which is related, but the PR is not in good shape yet.

@vissarion GitHub Codespaces is also ready-to-use, providing a browser-based IDE (VS Code + Ubuntu). Switching Python versions and installing Poetry are hard in Google Colab, but possible in Codespaces because it offers a full Linux environment.

OK, thanks, then it may worth it to have an alternative notebook in Github Codespaces and decide how we proceed and which notebook to keep.

I would suggest to have a version of notebook able to run on a codespace.

Yes, this is what I mean but alternative. Would the same file dingo_tutorial.ipynb just run on codespace if we upload it?
