I'm trying to install tensorflow 1.14.0 on my Ubuntu (20.04 LTS) machine. I need the python version 2.7.

The cmd line I'm trying to execute is

$ sudo python2.7 -m pip install tensorflow==1.14.0

but it seems there is an issue with "grpcio". The output is the following one:

I have already tried to upgrade pip (20.3.4) and setuptools (44.1.1). I also tried to install grpcio from a repository by following this guide https://pypi.org/project/grpcio/, but I get the same error.

Do you have any suggestion? Thank you!

  • Try using `python -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.12.0-py3-none-any.whl`. Also check [this](https://computingforgeeks.com/install-tensorflow-cpu-only-on-ubuntu-debian/) reference. –  Jan 10 '22 at 16:32

I had the same exat issue as you, upgrading pip wouldn't work in my case either.

I was able to install tensorboard on my platform by installing an older version of grpcio (in my case pip install grpcio==1.20.1).

You will see some warnings on execution about some missing dynamic libraries which are ok for me, but you might want to try other grpcio version.
