Found conflicts when installing Spyder in an environment with Tensorflow 2.5

panquela · July 6, 2021, 9:32am

Dear all,

I’m experiencing dependence conflicts when trying to install spyder in an environment that includes package tensorflow-gpu release 2.5 from conda pkgs/main channel.

conda environment is created as it shows conda info command:

 active environment : tf25
 active env location : C:\Users\MyUser\.conda\envs\tf25
        shell level : 2
        user config file : C:\Users\MyUser\.condarc
        populated config files : C:\Users\MyUser\.condarc
        conda version : 4.10.1
        conda-build version : 3.21.4
        python version : 3.8.8.final.0
        virtual packages : __cuda=11.2=0
                      __win=0=0
                      __archspec=1=x86_64

The enviroment includes only tensorflow-gpu 2.5 release and its dependencies

Error log continues with a huge amount of dependencies conflicts. I’m afraid it doesn’t make sense to include in this posts.

I would appreciate any workaround to enjoy Spyder with tensorflow-gpu release 2.5

Kind regards.

Hello,

I don’t know if you solve the issue, but I’m posting this for others who may have the same problem!

I created a new environment in Anaconda using the command :
(conda prompt) # conda create --name tf tensorflow-gpu
Then I got the same error rescribed before… when trying to install Spyder IDE !

THE SOLUTION
I managed to solve this issue by doing these steps:

Create new anaconda environnement with python3.7 ONLY (I used Anaconda Navigator for this) => make sure to choose Python 3.7 ONLY !! => choose a name as ‘my_env’
Go to Anaconda Prompt to install separately tensoflow first then spyder.
So we need to navigate to the Python environnement that we created already (I named it my_env)

(base) # conda activate my_env
(my_env) # conda install tensorflow-gpu
(my_env) # conda install spyder

Once finished Spyder should work properly in the environment you installed it in.
Important Note:
Some packages may not be installed due to several reasons (connection problem for example…), So make sure all packages have been installed as 100% ! If not, then re-execute the same command to install all packages correctly !

Regards.
IKRAM

#setup Anaconda environment
conda create --name tf_gpu python=3.7
conda install spyder
#activate environment tf_gpu
source activate tf_gpu
#Install latest Tensorflow-gpu i.e., current latest version is 2.7.0 
tf_gpu$pip install tensorflow 
#verify the installation
tf_gpu$python
tf_gpu$import tensorflow as tf
tf_gpu$tf.__version__

Output
2.7.0

This didnt work for me. Spyder just wont install if Tensrflow is present in the environment either with conda or pip.
