Installing tensorflow error on windows

mahyash · 27 August 2023 19:45

Hi! I'm new with node-red and I wanted to install tensor flow, using this in cmd:

C:\Users\mahya>npm install @tensorflow/tfjs-node

But I keep getting this error. I even uninstalled Node.js and ticked the box to install necessary tools. But nothing has changed. Please help. Thanks.
The error messages:

You should be installing it from the node-red userDir, which is probably c:/Users/mahya/.node-red, but I do not think that is the cause of the error.

npm ERR! Error: Unsupported system: cpu-win32-ia32

See Error: Unsupported system: cpu-win32-ia32 · Issue #2772 · tensorflow/tfjs · GitHub
I assume you are running a 32 bit version of Windows.

mahyash · 28 August 2023 08:37

No I just checked in the setting, I have and my device has 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

Colin · 28 August 2023 10:16

Which version of windows and which version of nodejs are you using. For nodejs use node -v to find out.

mahyash · 28 August 2023 10:20

I use windows 10 Home version 22H2. I just downloaded another version of node js for x64. and it is: v20.5.1
I tried to run this code and yet I got this error message:

You are still in the wrong folder, now you are trying to install it to system32, so you get the permissions error. You should be in your .node-red folder as I pointed out earlier.

ok but this still doesn't work

Also note that nodejs 20 is not officially supported by node-red yet, so you would be better to stick to 18. Tensorflow probably hasn't been tested against 20 either.

Colin · 28 August 2023 10:43

Though I would not expect the zip format error to be caused by the nodejs version. If you run the install again do you get the same error?

mahyash · 28 August 2023 10:49

you mean installing node-red again or Node.js?
I uninstalled nodejs.20 and installed 18 again.
but these errors are still here:

I meant if you installer tensorflow again.

I suggest you submit an issue on the node's github page. Hopefully the author will be able to help.

mahyash · 28 August 2023 13:23

Ok thank you.
