Tensor Flow Installation - Metafile Error

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2
1

I am trying to install TensorFlow and so far have not had any success. My current setup is: Jetson TX2 dev kit, L4T R32.3.1 (Jetpack 43), python 3.6.9.

I used the instructions found through the Nvidia website ( Installing TensorFlow for Jetson Platform :: NVIDIA Deep Learning Frameworks Documentation ) and ( TensorFlow for Jetson TX2! ) and followed them as prescribed for installing the latest Tensorflow version for a specific JP version. I tried using both tensorflow and tensorflow-gpu for the package name but neither worked ( sudo pip3 install --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v43 tensorflow ).

The installation runs and the error I get is below. This specific error is for 2.1.0, but I get it for all versions related to JP V43. Is there anything I can do without changing my current version of JP/L4T?

Hi,

We found this issue is related to the newer pip3 tool.
Please downgrade pip3 to v20.2.4, and try it again.

$ sudo pip3 install -U pip==20.2.4
$ sudo pip3 install --pre --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v43 tensorflow

Thanks.

Hello - the installation got further than it has in the past, but ran into an error at the scipy wheel requirements. Is this also related to the pip tool? Were you able to get a complete and successful install? Error is copied below

Hi,

Could you specify the package version to see if it works?

$ sudo pip3 install scipy==1.14.1

Thanks.

Hi - I did try installing scipy 1.4.1 before tensorflow using “pip3…” and “sudo pip3…” to see if that would work and got the error pasted below. What is interesting is I was able to easily install scipy1.5.4 using “pip3 install --user scipy”. I was also able to install python 3.5.9 and could successfully install scipy 1.4.1 using “python3.5 -m pip install --user scipy==1.4.1”. However when I went to install tensorflow using your previous instruction after scipy1.4.1(python3.5) installed, I got the same error I posted on April 1 - tensorflow install error at scipy. I should mention that python 3.6.9 is my default and is what it looks like the tensorflow install is trying to use to install scipy1.4.1 as well. Thank you!

Hi There,
I’m having a similar issue, also on TX2, JP43 and same version of python. I want to install tensorflow 2 and am getting a slightly different metadata error:

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
