Hello, I’m encountering an issue while installing TensorFlow on my NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX. Here’s a breakdown of my setup and the error I’m facing:

System Information:

  • Device: NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX
  • Package: nvidia-jetpack
  • Version: 4.6.5-b29
  • Architecture: arm64
  • PIP Version: ppip 21.3.1
  • Python Version: Python 3.6.9

Steps Taken:

  1. Followed the official Nvidia documentation for installing TensorFlow on the Jetson platform: Installing TensorFlow for Jetson Platform - NVIDIA Docs

I used the following command to install TensorFlow 2.5.0:

pip3 install --pre --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v46 tensorflow==2.5.0

What I’m Seeing:

  • pip3 list does not show tensorflow but other TensorFlow packages like tensorboard etc.
  • I also treied importing TensorFlow using import tensorflow results in a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow'.

Error Message:

import tensorflow

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow'    1.  stackoverflow.com stackoverflow.com

Hey!
I have executed this code:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip pkg-config
$ sudo apt-get install -y libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools libhdf5-dev zlib1g-dev zip libjpeg8-dev liblapack-dev libblas-dev gfortran
$ sudo ln -s /usr/include/locale.h /usr/include/xlocale.h
$ sudo pip3 install --verbose 'protobuf<4' 'Cython<3'
$ sudo wget --no-check-certificate https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v461/tensorflow/tensorflow-2.7.0+nv22.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl
$ sudo pip3 install --verbose tensorflow-2.7.0+nv22.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl

However, when I ran pip3 list, I couldn’t find tensorflow listed. Additionally, importing tensorflow resulted in an error.

Edit: This worked for me.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip pkg-config
sudo apt-get install -y libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools libhdf5-dev zlib1g-dev zip libjpeg8-dev liblapack-dev libblas-dev gfortran
sudo ln -s /usr/include/locale.h /usr/include/xlocale.h
sudo pip3 install --verbose 'protobuf<4' 'Cython<3'
sudo wget --no-check-certificate https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v461/tensorflow/tensorflow-2.7.0+nv22.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl
sudo pip3 install numpy==1.19.4
sudo pip3 install --verbose tensorflow-2.7.0+nv22.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl

Hi,

Does the import TensorFlow work after the installation?

Thanks.
