After installation: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow_probability'

[jalajthanaki]

I got this installation issue. If anyone can help me to resolve it.

I have executed the following commands for installation:

sudo pip3 install tensorflow
sudo pip3 install --user --upgrade tfp-nightly
sudo pip3 install tensorflow-probability

Detail Error Traceback is given below

>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.__version__
'1.8.0'
>>> import tensorflow_probability as tfp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow_probability'

I'm using python 3.6, tensorflow CPU version 1.8.0, OS : Ubuntu 18.04

Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated.

Hi Jalaj, I'm a bit confused by this sequence of commands. If you're using --user to install, you should use it for all the pip commands. This argument tells pip to install in a user-specific directory instead of system wide. Also, if you're using --user you don't need to run as root (sudo) since it's going to install into a directory owned by your user. Finally, it seems you're install TFP using two pip package names: tfp-nightly and tensorflow-probability. The latter isn't fully supported yet -- we're working on our first stable versioned release right now. So you'll want to avoid using that pip package for now. I'd suggest undoing those commands by running these:

# Use sudo just in case the user-local files were installed with root ownership
sudo pip3 uninstall --user tfp-nightly
sudo pip3 uninstall tensorflow-probability

Then start over with just tfp-nightly. Since you've installed tensorflow system-wide, you may want to install TFP system-wide too for consistency:

sudo pip3 install --upgrade tfp-nightly

Please give this a try and ping the thread if it doesn't work.
