What's your tensorflow and tensorboard version?

[initial-h]

I just pip install git+https://github.com/thu-ml/tianshou.git@master directly. Need I install tf and tensorboard additionally for I didn't found these requirements in readme.

[Trinkle23897]

Tianshou has already added the tensorboard in the requirement, in https://github.com/thu-ml/tianshou/blob/master/setup.py#L53
Maybe something went wrong through the installation? Or have you already installed the tensorboard before installing tianshou? Upgrade them first.

[initial-h]

No. I create a new env with conda, and pip install this repo.
conda create -n pytorch python==3.6.5
pip install git+https://github.com/thu-ml/tianshou.git@master
There may be something wrong among conda and pip

  ERROR: Failed building wheel for tianshou

[Trinkle23897]

Hmm...That's a problem. This morning I helped another person for installing tianshou on Anaconda. The following command works fine:

# create a new virtualenv and install pip, change the env name if you like
conda create -n myenv pip 
# activate the environment
conda activate myenv
# install tianshou
pip install tianshou

In short, please make sure the pip is installed in your created venv.

[initial-h]

There is still the same problem...

[Trinkle23897]

Have you tried upgrading your conda, e.g., conda update conda?

[initial-h]

Make no difference. It's the latest version already I think.

conda upgrade --all
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done
# All requested packages already installed.

[Trinkle23897]

No. I create a new env with conda, and pip install this repo.
conda create -n pytorch python==3.6.5
pip install git+https://github.com/thu-ml/tianshou.git@master
There may be something wrong among conda and pip

I test it but the second command pip is not in your "pytorch" venv. It will install some package outside your env.

[initial-h]

conda will install pip, like you mentioned before.
conda create ...
source activate ...
pip install ...

[Trinkle23897]

So what's the output of "which pip" or "pip -V"?

[initial-h]

you mean pip version? it's 20.0.2
pip 20.0.2 from /anaconda3/envs/pytorch/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

[Trinkle23897]

Hmm...that's quite strange. BTW, I think "tensorflow" has no attribute "io" can be resolved by installing tensorflow manually. Though in the unittest it doesn't need to install tensorflow and still runs well.

In [11]: import tensorflow as tf

In [12]: tf.io
Out[12]: <module 'tensorflow._api.v1.io' from '/home/trinkle/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow_core/_api/v1/io/__init__.py'>

[Trinkle23897]

You can also manually comment the lines of SummaryWriter in the test script :)

[initial-h]

yeah, I pip install tensorflow manually and this problem has been solved. Thanks!

[Poojitha67]

yeah, I pip install tensorflow manually and this problem has been solved. Thanks!

I am facing the same issue. Can you pls help me resolve it?

[anggajulian14]

how to install tensorflow manually?

[Trinkle23897]

pip install tensorflow
