Dependency Issue on Windows
mco78 opened this issue · comments
Tried to setup with the .yml file which was aborted.
Manual installation of the requested packages led to an error: tensorflow on Windows is only supported in 64-bit Python 3.5. Updating python raises depency errors for functools32 and subprocess32, which only run with Python 2.7.
So based on my limited knowledge: there is no way of setting up the environment on Windows. Or am I missing something?
Hi,
It can be set up on a windows machine. Tensorflow on all platforms - windows, unix and mac is supported on only Python 3.5. So, if your machine has python 3.6 it will not work.
Could you tell which specific package were you installing when you got this error?
I guess the problem is, that imdbpy is not compatible with Python 3.x. See here:
https://github.com/alberanid/imdbpy/issues/27
But for Tensorflow to work under Windows, Python 3.5 is needed. So I can't use them together in one environment.
But I solved this by creating two environments, one for the data gathering and one for the deep learning part, which works fine for me. Sorry, I'm really not an expert in Python and its package management, so maybe I just dont get how to do the installation process right... Feel free to delete the issue. Thanks anyway for the great tutorial!
Makes sense. I suggest working with python 2.7 as it was all tested on it. Thanks for informing, let me add it to to repo :)
@mco78 Added a clarification to README mentioning that Python 2.7 is required. Thanks for notifying! Glad it helped you out :)
Thank you, good job!
