Installtion failed about federated

[Neisser]

Im trying to install and in getting similar issues, i have tried different python versions and different tensorflow-federated versions.

OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Windows 11 Home
Python package versions (e.g., TensorFlow Federated, TensorFlow):
tensorflow:
TensorFlow Federated 0.48.0, 0.20.0
Python version: 3.9, 3.10, 3.12
Bazel version (if building from source): None
CUDA/cuDNN version: None

trying python 3.8.3 installed the package but give me this error:

import tensorflow_federated as tff
print(tff.federated_computation(lambda: 'Hello, World!')())

---

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)

@lwmonster did you find a way to install it?

@Neisser

When you say install. Do you mean pip install tensorflow-federated or do you mean use TFF? I see from the logs you shared that you are getting a RuntimeError, so I am going to assume you mean after you pip install tensorflow-federated. However, you also said your OS was Win 10, which is surprising to me because I would have thought that you would have gotten an error trying to pip install tensorflow-federated on Windows. Note that TFF does not release a package for this OS, see https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow-federated/.

Can you clarify the OS you are trying to run on.

hi @michaelreneer the OS im trying to run is Windows 11 Home

Currently, TFF does not produce a package that will work on this platform.

I see, then I believe I know what has happened. We did not initially have the package configured correctly to restrict the platform the package would work on. So I imagine you are pulling in an older version of TFF when pip installing on Windows (i.e. the newest version that pip thinks is compatible with Windows). Which you can see that you are using a version of TFF that is quite old. However, this package was not intended to work on Windows.

TensorFlow Federated 0.48.0, 0.20.0

You will need to try and build TFF from source on Windows to use TFF on this platform.
