i think right now we can't use docker in collab, i tried instaling sudo and even runing de docker daemon with dockerd command and have no positive result.

my solution was to install all the dependencies of the image by hand like this:

!sudo apt-get update
!apt-get install -y wget bzip2
!apt-get install -y gcc perl git
!rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

!cd /
!mkdir anaconda
!cd anaconda
!wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda2-5.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
!bash Anaconda2-5.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
!source ~/.bashrc
!cd ..
!rm -r anaconda
