Tensorbaord 1.7 error with TensorFlow 1.8, and how to install tensorboard 1.8?

[YantianZha]

• TensorBoard version: 1.7.0
• TensorFlow version: tensorflow-gpu-1.8.0rc0
• OS Platform and version: Linux Ubuntu 16.04
• Python version: 2.7

Hello,
I'm having a problem of using tensorboard 1.7 to visualize the events generated by tensorflow 1.8. The error is at bottom. I suspect a reason is I should use tensorboard 1.8 instead of 1.7. That said, I cannot find a way to install the tensorboard 1.8 separately. I know tensorflow is dependent on tensorboard, so I did a reinstallation of tensorflow 1.8 (after removing the tensorboard). But the installation of tensorflow 1.8 actually comes with installing tensorboard 1.7. So reinstalling tensorflow 1.8 still cannot resolve the problem. Thanks for helping!

Right now I temporarily resolved the problem by replacing the "tensorboard/backend/event_processing/event_file_loader.py" with the latest version (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/edit/master/tensorboard/backend/event_processing/event_file_loader.py).

@YantianZha Thank you, your method can solve my problem.

@YouZengLi this problem is solved without a local patch if you just uninstall tensorboard entirely (both the tensorboard and tensorflow-tensorboard pip packages, if you have either one) and then reinstall tensorboard 1.8 or higher.
