Installation works for tfjs-node but failed for tfjs-node-gpu

[steviejsutanto]

I got this error when installing npm i @tensorflow/tfjs-node-gpu that some people have also gotten. I've tried the solutions that worked for most people, but still nothing worked for me.

I tried npm i -g --production windows-build-tools , also locally. I tried installing windows-build-tools manually as followed from the node-gyp github page.

I tried to install the CPU (npm i @tensorflow/tfjs-node) version and it was installed with no problems.

I have CUDA, CuDNN, etc installed as instructed.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this.

Windows 10
Python 2.7.15
Node v10.15.0
npm v6.4.1
node-gyp 3.8.0

Is there a way to keep the .staging folder and @tensorflow/tfjs-node-gpu folder to help debugging out? Attached in is the log generated by the script, but I'm not sure how to dig deeper as all the scripts are cleaned up upon failure. I can post the --verbose log if needed, but it looks to have found all the correct paths and re-installing windows-build-tools didn't help.

[amcelroy]

Another update: npm install --verbose @tensorflow/tfjs-node-gpu@0.2.1 works on my machine, but not 0.2.0, 0.2.2, or 0.2.3

[nkreeger]

Those logs have a truncated node-gyp log so it is hard to figure out what is going on.

Do you mind cloning the tfjs-node repo and running the following - it might give some more details:

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs-node.git
cd tfjs-node
npm install

# This command probably fails:
npm run enable-gpu

# Get the logs from this:
node-gyp rebuild

If you don't have node-gyp - npm install -g node-gyp.

Also one other question - which version of CUDA/CUDNN do you have - we have strict requirements that match TensorFlow 1.12: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu

You need to run yarn or npm install first - that will download the missing dependencies.

Any luck building v1.0.1 with GPU support?

Also tried the same with Build Tools 2015 (v14), but I get the same error. All tfjs-node cpu versions are built without any errors.

tfjs-node-gpu builds only if I force the version to 0.2.1 and gives errors on other versions (0.2.3, )1.0.1

[nkreeger]

Your system is not finding python2 - try the instructions here https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs-node/blob/master/WINDOWS_TROUBLESHOOTING.md#missing-python2

[ecounce]

I suggest setting NODE_OPTIONS environment to increase memory limit. I had success building tfjs-node v1.0.1 with GPU support on Windows 10/Build Tools 2015 using"NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096"

[saravanabalagi]

@nkreeger

But it seems it has found it after searching in PATH

gyp verb check python checking for Python executable "python" in the PATH
gyp verb `which` succeeded python F:\Ruby\python\python.EXE
gyp verb check python version `F:\Ruby\python\python.EXE -c "import sys; print "2.7.13

I also made sure I can call python (python27) in cmd, is there anything else I need to do?

[saravanabalagi]

Noticed that in my previous message the error was gyp file was missing. In fact there was no gyp file in the directory mnist-node from examples.

Is that the expected behaviour?
Are all repos that use tfjs-node-gpu required to have a gyp bindings file?

[saravanabalagi]

So I tried yarn and yarn enable-gpu on the clone of this repo itself (which had the gyp file and the bindings). But even then I got build failed error. This time, I also tried adding python2 to PATH in addition to python (both being v2.7.13). Again build failed at MSBuild: msbuild.exe from the windows build tools (2017/v15) that I installed.

I tried further with Build Tools 2015 (v14) and got

@saravanabalagi Sadly, the node-gyp build tool uses gyp which has had various issues (just search issues on that repo) keeping up with Visual Studio build tool updates. Chrome moved away from gyp to gn a couple of years ago. While there are efforts underway to help, it's probably best for us to start providing users with pre-built binaries (at least on Windows to start).

Please follow this issue: #1390

@nkreeger, FWIW, I finally got tfjs-node-gpu to install on Win10. I had to install version 0.3.2 for it to work. Trying any of the 1.0.x versions would result in the above mentioned node-gyp rebuild failures.

Any possibility that this is a similar issue to the gpu packaging / layout issue with the upstream version of TF?
Where it was discovered in 0.2.2 - 0.3.0: #1121 (comment)
Where you fixed it for 0.3.1: tensorflow/tfjs-node#208

With the latest tfjs-node/tfjs-node-gpu package, we are shipping pre-compile addon and there should be no compilation on your machine. This issue should have been fixed.
