How do I install tensorflow_text?

Question

I'm trying to reproduce the notebook on Google Multilingual Universal Encoder . However by downloading the necessary libraries as tensorflow_text :

%%capture
#@title Setup Environment
# Install the latest Tensorflow version.
!pip3 install tensorflow_text

or

!python -m pip install tensorflow_text

And I get in jupyter:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-48-399dd4157896> in <module>
      8 import tensorflow.compat.v2 as tf
      9 import tensorflow_hub as hub
---> 10 from tensorflow_text import SentencepieceTokenizer
     11 import sklearn.metrics.pairwise
     12 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow_text'

I tried to install it with python -m pip install tensorflow-text , but it gave me:

(seg_env) C:\Users\antoi\Documents\Programming\Covent Garden\Segmentation\sentiment>python -m pip install tensorflow-text
Collecting tensorflow-text
  ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-text (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-text
WARNING: You are using pip version 19.2.3, however version 20.0.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I also tried conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

I'm on Windows 10

Answer 1

这应该有效： pip install tensorflow-text

Answer 2

I had TensorFlow version 2.5 and used the below command and it worked.

pip install -U tensorflow-text==2.5

Answer 3

The installation of tensorflow-text (imported as tensorflow_text ) through pip was not possible for Windows until version 2.4.1 (released Dec 2020).

For Windows, you can now do: pip install tensorflow-text and it should work.

Answer 4

PART 1: INSTALLING TENSORFLOW

In order to install tensorflow with Anaconda do the following:

Step 1

Download Anaconda from here and install it.

Step 2

Open Anaconda Prompt as Administrator

Step 3

Create a conda virtual environment named tensorflow_env with the following command:

C:\> conda create -n tensorflow_env python=3.7

Step 4

Activate the conda environment

C:\> activate tensorflow_env

Now your prompt should change to

(tensorflow_env) C:\>

Step 5

Install TensorFlow into your Anaconda environment

(tensorflow_env) C:\> conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

Step 6 (Optional)

Check that you have installed Anaconda

(tensorflow_env) C:\>python
>>> import tensorflow
>>> print(tensorflow. __version__)

The steps described below are from this article .
This was the way I successfully installed TensforFlow on my device.

==============================================

PART 2: Fixing the warning

ECHO "WARNING: Did not find VS in registry or in VS140COMNTOOLS env var - your compiler may not work"

How I managed to solve this in Windows

1) Set option to view hidden files

2) Go to this location

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\tensorflow_env\etc\conda\activate.d

3) Delete batch file named "vs2015_compiler_vars"

=========

How I think to solve this in Linux

Find the file named "vs2015_compiler_vars" and delete it.

As sugested in a comment at another question by @Arpan, the file may be found at

$CONDAHOME/etc/conda/activate.d

Answer 5

This is a known issue with the packages provided by the TensorFlow-Text project that apparently re-surfaces from time to time. See Issue 89 and Issue 291 in their GitHub.

You can either wait until this is resolved (again), or try to build the package from source.
