I downgraded tf version to required specifications, it is working now. It's tf version 1.2.0

[xixi9]

first
import tensorflow as tf
then
from edward.models import Normal

[cpoptic]

Could edward devs please be more explicit about which version of tensorflow is required to run edward? It's frustrating and a time-sink to iterate through various TF versions trying to find the most recent version that is still compatible with Edward.

The TF API is changing rapidly, so it's hard to keep up, but even a simple requirements.txt would suffice.

[wingwingtwo]

it still does not work

first
import tensorflow as tf
then
from edward.models import Normal

[tqi2]

After tried many times with different combinations of tensorflow and edward version, I finally found the newest Edward and tensorflow 1.2.0 works!

use google colab
install tf1.2.0 can solve this question
