Call for PyPI (pip) installation pre-release Test

[zihaolucky]

Hi TensorBoard fans,

The PyPI TensorBoard is available in both macos and linux varients.

Just try

pip install tensorboard

We now support scalar, histogram and image and we're working on more types and even embedding later.

tensorboard-distro repo for PyPI version.

@piiswrong @kernel8liang @austingg @luoyetx could you please try this and give me some feedback? Thank you!

[luoyetx]

@zihaolucky Many thanks to the package. I test the package (install by pip) on CentOS7 and Ubuntu16.04 with Python2.7. It's pretty good. I also run the scripts under tests/python. They works fine. I take some images from tensorboard with logdir is experiment. I suppose the result is correct.

Is there any plans to add windows support?

[zihaolucky]

@ahmedezzateasa thanks for your feedback, I'm not familiar with this, is it possible to build PyPI installer in windows? @piiswrong @szha

@ahmedezzateasa BTW, have you try the installer.sh script? Does it work?

[ahmedezzat85]

@zihaolucky Thanks for your fast response.
I am not expert at building python packages for PyPI.
I am asking if there will be a python wheel for windows in the future (besides mac and linux)?
I am using mxnet on windows and I would like to use tensorboard with it (if it would be possible).
Previously, I tried building from source, but I stucked at bazel building for tensorboard (on windows) and I gave up.

[austingg]

on Windows, anaconda is usually used for installing python packages.

[ahmedezzat85]

@austingg I am actually using anaconda. But, when a package is not found in conda, pip install works.

[zihaolucky]

@ahmedezzateasa If the installer script works in windows, I think it might be possible to make a PyPI for windows. So I encourage you to fix the bazel issue and I'd love to help you, though I'm not a windows user.

[ahmedezzat85]

@zihaolucky OK.
Thanks.

[zihaolucky]

@ahmedezzateasa I guess the tensorflow/tensorboard works in windows, so technically the standalone version we provide could work. But I haven't tested the script in windows yet.

ImportError: No module named text
no text module? can you help me to get it?

[kingson999]

when can i install on windows machine ?

[zihaolucky]

Dear TensorBoard fans,

We're currently working with a member of the TensorBoard dev team, try to make this project more robust and maintainable, also trying to push the direction to a pure standalone tool. It might take some time.
