Answer 1

A related bug report on Google protobuf can be found here , you may want to check it out. There's a bug report on GitHub tensorflow here . The solution may be to run

pip install tensorflow tensorflow-tensorboard --upgrade --force-reinstall

Can you try that?

Answer 2

You can try this recipe:

pip uninstall tensorflow
pip install tensorflow
pip uninstall protobuf
pip install protobuf==3.3.0.

It works for me.
