NEST is not pip installable, using !pip install -Uqq nest will install a "network stack tester" https://pypi.org/project/nest/
You will have to follow another installation route. I'm not sure which one is recommended for Google Collab. Perhaps the conda or CMake installation?

You may have to restart the kernel because the installation was installed via a child shell process and have yet to be loaded into the current process that the kernel is running on.
IIRC, it is called “Restart runtime” in Google Colab.
