Hi,

I’m trying to install tensorflow from this link as a prerequisite for uff-converter on my jetson-nano:

I installed all packages from prerequisites and dependancies part. Then, during installation of tensorflow, I got a problem when building wheel of grpcio (pep 517): ERROR: Failed building wheel for grpcio. Even with the following command pip3 install grpcio.

I spent few hours trying to fix this problem without success.

If someone has an idea, thanks.

Hi,

Which JetPack version do you use?
We can install grpcio with pip3 directly on JetPack 4.4 product release.

$ sudo pip3 install grpcio

Thanks for the reply, I’m using jetpack 4.4. I tried the following command line:
“pip3 install grpcio --no-use-pep517” but still with the same issue

Failed to build grpcio
DEPRECATION: Could not build wheels for grpcio which do not use PEP 517. pip will fall back to legacy ‘setup.py install’ for these. pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality. A possible replacement is to fix the wheel build issue reported above. You can find discussion regarding this at Deprecate call to 'setup.py install' when building a wheel failed for source distributions without pyproject.toml · Issue #8368 · pypa/pip · GitHub.

Hi,

Do you mind to tell us why you need a package without using pep517?
We can install TensorFlow with the default grpcio package on JetPack4.4 without issue.

Thanks.

I tried to install tensorflow but I’ve had a problem with grpcio. Then, I tried to install it manually with the following command “pip3 install grpcio” which didn’t work because of problem with pep517, then I tried the following command “pip3 install grpcio --no-use-pep517” without success too. All of this commands bring me the same problem. I don’t understand where this problem come from. Why could I download numpy for example with pip3 and not grpcio ?

I solved my problem by installing specific version of setuptools. I had the 50.0 version by using the command line"pip3 install -U pip testresources setuptools" from your tuto. I installed the 49.6 (pip3 install setuptools==49.6.0) version of setuptools and it’s working now to build grpcio and I could successfully convert posenet model on my jetson.
