Install TensorFlow Python Wheel file on Jetpack 4.2 with Pip3

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2

I recently upgraded Jetpack on TX2 to the brand new version 4.2. The wheel file I used previously on Jetpack 3.3 to install tensorflow-gpu from NVIDIA no longer works because Python is version 3.6 on Jetpack 4.2 Is there a new wheel file? How can I install this? Thanks.

me@me:~/Desktop/phil$ sudo pip3 install tensorflow-1.11.0-cp35-cp35m-linux_aarch64.whl 
[sudo] password for me: 
The directory '/home/me/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

Hi,

You can use this manual, https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dgx/install-tf-xavier/index.html.

Please use https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v42/tensorflow-gpu/tensorflow_gpu-1.13.1+nv19.3-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl (the latest one in [url]https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/downloads#?search=TensorFlow[/url]).

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this.

As vickyy mentioned, the latest package TF-1.13.1+nv19.3 is compatible for Xavier, TX2 and Nano.
We have updated this information in the pinned topic:

Thanks.

When I follow the instructions from https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dgx/install-tf-xavier/index.html#troubleshooting, the pip3 install --pre --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v42 tensorflow-gpu TensorFlow install runs for a while and finally end in this error. Any ideas? TIA.

Hi,

Try to install hdf5 first:

sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools

Thanks.

What’s the meaning of nv19.5, nv19.4 nv19.3 ?
Where can I find those corresponding versions?

Thank you
Pei

I’m pretty sure those are different versions of Tensorflow for NVIDIA

Hi,
I met the same issue that I am using JetPack 4.2 and follow exact same steps from Installing TensorFlow for Jetson Platform :: NVIDIA Deep Learning Frameworks Documentation

And when I try to install the whls, I got errors:

ERROR: tensorflow_gpu-1.13.1+nv19.3-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

It’s on Xavier. Any hints?

Hi, Klein92

Which command do you execute? Is this one?

sudo pip3 install --pre --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v42 tensorflow-gpu

If yes, could you reboot the system to see if helps?

Thanks.
