Hello,

currently I’m trying to install Tensorflow on my Jetson Nano with JetPack 4.3.
Unfortunately I’m getting the following error:

embsys@embsys-desktop:~$ sudo pip3 install --pre --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v43 tensorflow==2.1.0+nv20.3

Has anyone else had this issue?

I tried installing Tensorflow on JetPack 4.4, there it worked fine.
Unfortunately I have some other dependencies in my project that I need to stay on JetPack 4.3 at the moment.

I also tried to install different versions of Tensorflow (also 1.15.2) and different Tensorflow containers.
I always get the same error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Greetings, Alex

Ok, nevermind. I found a thread about another problem during the installation.
The solution also worked for me.
The thread was: Tensorflow "no matching distribution"

Environment: (ISO file: jetson-nano-4gb-jp441-sd-card-image.zip)
I got error as below:

I try to burn jetpack 4.4 iso file and install again. Now the environment(tensorflow 2.3.1) is ok now. I think jetpack 4.4.1 is not ready for now, it is recommended not to use version 4.4.1.

Hi, just flashed a JP43 and I’m getting this error trying the recommended version (+nv20.3) and the one I had working before (+nv20.1):

On both cases the error is the same. Apparently the metadata for the wheel has a different name ending in .tf1 (I wonder where it came from). Is there any workaround? Unless I’m doing something odd, these are stock wheels for latest versions of tensorflow 1.1.

Any recommendation on how to fix this?
Thank you.

168

Same exact error I’m getting on JP4.3. The packages contain an extra .tf1 and .tf2 suffixes in the package name in the metadata preventing them from being installed.

Apparently the filenames of the wheels should match the names in the metadata, and they don’t.
This is the listing of https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v43/tensorflow-gpu/ :
None have any .tf1 or .tf2 suffix, but apparently they do have .tf1 and .tf2 suffixes in their metadata.

Apparently the latest version(s) of pip is/are stricter about that metadata inconsistency and won’t install the package, as opposed to whatever pip most people may be using, including package maintainers?

Could anyone confirm this? @dusty_nv, @AastaLLL?

pip version I’m using is 20.3.2.

Thank you.
Best regards.

PS: Well, this is odd. If you download the very same .whl that pip refuses to install from an index, it gets installed successfully when the .whl is downloaded and installed from the filesystem (and without even a warning about the metadata version mismatch stuff). So this manual download/installation apparently solved my problem.

You are totally right, i solved this problem just changing my pip version:

/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install pip==20.1

171

For me h5py==2.9.0 fails to install with very long error log: h5py 2.90 fails to install with pip3 in Ubuntu 18.04 - Pastebin.com. I just recently started over with fresh SD card image. In previous system (based on exactly the same SD card image) this was also an issue. I’m using Jetpack 4.4.1 [L4T 32.4.4]. I was able to solve the issue by removing “==2.9.0”. The Installation guide suggests to use 2.10.0 in one place but in another place it suggests to install without specifing the h5py version so I decided to try that first and it worked. But during installation of TensorFlow 2.3.1, it automatically removed h5py 3.1.0 and installed h5py-2.10.0 instead, so it seems that 2.10.0 is the right h5py version for TensorFlow 2.3.1.

Hello I am installing the Tensorflow now but I met some problems.
I think I have installed the tensorflow successfully.

when I test directly in the CMD line

qiaoys@qiaoys:~$ python3
Python 3.6.9 (default, Oct 8 2020, 12:12:24)
[GCC 8.4.0] on linux
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

import tensorflow as tf
2021-01-23 21:43:47.300934: I tensorflow/stream_executor/platform/default/dso_loader.cc:49] Successfully opened dynamic library libcudart.so.10.2
print(tf.version)
2.3.1

so it seems good .
but when I am in the JupyterLab

import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.version)

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 import tensorflow as tf
2 print(tf.version)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tensorflow’

it shows can not find tensorflow. Does someone know why and give me some suggestions? Thanks very much !

173

Are you sure you are using python3 in Jupyter Lab and not python2? If it is running python2 then this is expected result. You can use the following code to check python version:

import platform
print(platform.python_version())
174

OK, Thanks for your suggestion
I tried as you said
it shows 3.6.9

175

Perhaps you are running python3 in different environment than normally. For example, if you installed tensorflow only for your user and not system-wide and running Jupyter Lab as different user. Or maybe your installation of Jupyter Lab runs python3 in isolated virtual environment where tensorflow is not installed.

176

Yes, I also think so. they are maybe in different environment. thanks for your reply ,that is still very helpful.

177

same problem with you . Have you solved this problem ?

Hello expert,

I am trying to install TensorFlow on my Jetson Nano with Jetpack 4.5, but no matter the download link I use I end up with “Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: none)”

root@nano:~/tensorflow_wheel# sudo pip3 install --pre --extra-index-url Index of /compute/redist/jp/v45 tensorflow

Even when installing from the wheels directly I find terrors, here is an example from one of many wheels I have tried:

root@nano:~/tensorflow_wheel# python3.8 -m pip install tensorflow_gpu-1.13.1+nv19.3-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl
ERROR: tensorflow_gpu-1.13.1+nv19.3-cp36-cp36m-linux_aarch64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Any recommendation how to work around this? I have tried multiple versions of Pip, latest and 20.1.

Python 3.8 is not supported officially. In order to use the pre-built version you must use Python 3.6.
