tensorboard shows a SyntaxError: can't assign to operator

Question

I'm trying to run tensorboard but it keeps showing the same error.

tensorboard --logdir=tensorflow/logdir
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to operator

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and installed tensorflow-gpu by virtualenv.

Answer 1

You are running tensorboard --logdir=tensorflow/logdir from an interactive python shell or ipython/jupyter-notebook. As mentioned in the comment above, you need to run this command from the terminal. Alternatively, you can run the command from ipython/jupyter by putting the ! at the beginning of the command, ie by running !tensorboard --logdir=tensorflow/logdir

Answer 2

if you are using jupeter notebook or jupyter lab or google colab you should use the code:

%load_ext tensorboard
%tensorboard --logdir="logs"

if you are coding in terminal

tensorboard --logdir="logs"

this code will work well
