Error from pip install

[botev]

Hi, so recently trying to install from pip install when I try running tensorboard from the command line I get:

RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xb but this version of numpy is 0xa
Traceback (most recent call last):

Which version of numpy is used in the pypi package for tensorboard?

[zihaolucky]

Seems we have some problems with Python3.6, there're some issues about this. Did you try another Python version?

[botev]

Unfortunately, this anaconda is my only option as I'm on a department cluster. I also tried building from source, but since they have already changed the tensorflow repo that does not work either. Do you know which is the last working tag/commit from tensorflow for which I can build tensorboard with?

[zihaolucky]

@botev I have fixed the backend and the install script. https://github.com/dmlc/tensorboard/blob/master/installer.sh#L9

[botev]

Hmm, is there anything specific that I need to change during installation. When I run the build script after bazel I get:

Requirement 'python/dist/*.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist

and there does not seem to be an wheels in <repo_folder>/python/dist

[zihaolucky]

Could you tell me how to reproduce this? I will look into this.

[botev]

So I just cloned the repo. Than did this and the output is:

$chmod +x installer.sh
$./installer.sh
protoc tensorboard/src/*.proto --python_out=python/

Requirement 'python/dist/*.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
*.whl is not a valid wheel filename.
Now you can remove tensorflow with rm -rf tensorflow

Where are the wheels suppose to be at the end of the bazel build?

[zihaolucky]

Did the bazel build success? Let me try this in my env.

[botev]

I think so because tensorboard/python/tensorboard/tensorboard is a working tensorboard which I can run. I guess there something fishy going with the wheels. If you don't get it its fine, since I can just modify the source and use that.

[zihaolucky]

I failed to reproduce this in Python2.7, let me try in Python3.6 later.

[botev]

Sure if you need some more info let me know, just note that my python 3.6 is actually under anaconda. That should not matter, but I have experienced cases where it does.
