'tensorboard' command not found after installation on RPI3

[phil123456]

Bug in installation (tensorflow python code runs fine)

here are the step I used to install TensorFlow :

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev
wget https://github.com/samjabrahams/tensorflow-on-raspberry-pi/releases/download/v1.0.1/tensorflow-1.0.1-cp27-none-linux_armv7l.whl
pip install --user tensorflow-1.0.1-cp27-none-linux_armv7l.whl
pip uninstall mock
pip install --user mock
sudo pip install --user git+https://github.com/tflearn/tflearn.git

the machine is a raspberrry pi v3 (raspbian v 8.0)
tensorflow v 1.0.1

problem :

I try to run tensorboard, I get a command not found

I tried locate, find, whereis, .... nothing, seems like it did not get installed with tensorflow

logs :

dont know if there are any install logs, if yes let me know where to find them

I removed --user and it works, dont know why your tutorial insists on installing everything as non root while the default pi user needs to sudo everything anyway

pip install tensorflow-1.0.1-cp27-none-linux_armv7l.whl

Hi @phil123456 - thanks for opening this up. Interesting- I wasn't aware that the tensorboard command wasn't installed properly when using the --user flag. I appreciate you following up with how you managed to fix the problem. I'll need to look into how to encourage a safe installation of the package while simultaneously making sure that the full functionality is available (such as tensorboard) and not having too many extra steps (I don't want to have a guide on creating a virtualenv in this repo).

For reference as to why the guide recommends using the --user flag in general, check out some of the following resources:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15028648/is-it-acceptable-safe-to-run-pip-install-under-sudo
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21055859/what-are-the-risks-of-running-sudo-pip
• http://askubuntu.com/questions/802544/is-sudo-pip-install-still-a-broken-practice
• This change was originally brought up (with a user arguing for this change) in tensorflow-on-raspberry-pi: Cmd line for install .whl? #72

I've reverted the --user flag instructions in the meantime as I investigate a better/working way to encourage "safe" pip practices.

it is a sad story I need to do tensorflow --user because I do not have root right
