pip failes due to conflit

Describe the expected behaviour

for it to work...

Standalone code/steps you may have used to try to get what you need

1) tried https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/61719 - no good
2) tried python 3.8 - 3.11 all faid

ERROR: Cannot install mediapipe-model-maker==0.1.0.2, mediapipe-model-maker==0.1.1.0 and mediapipe-model-maker==0.1.1.1 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:

Hi @tomershukhman,

Unfortunately, you won't be able to install the latest version of MediaPipe model maker (0.2.1.3) because tensorflow-text stopped supporting Windows, Aarch64, and Apple Macs since version 2.11 (refer to https://github.com/tensorflow/text/issues/1140 and https://github.com/tensorflow/text#a-note-about-different-operating-system-packages).

To install the latest version, you can try building the tensorflow-text package from their Github if you are using Apple macOS. If you are not using the text_classifier task in Model Maker (which requires tensorflow-text), you can attempt to install it using pip with the "--no-deps" parameter. You would need to install each requirement independently, excluding tensorflow-text. Note that this is a workaround suggested by a user here: https://github.com/tensorflow/text/issues/1206.

Alternatively, you can consider using Colab cloud environment to install these packages in a Linux environment.

Thank you!!

I'm not a python expert and don't need the text_classifier. What commands could I run to get the mediapipe-model-maker working on mac. Have you actually got it working like this (without installing tensorflow-text)?

Only way I was able to make it work, it was through using python 3.9.16, with this command : pip install "pyyaml>6.0.0" "keras<3.0.0" "tensorflow<2.16" "tf-models-official<2.16" mediapipe-model-maker --no-deps The list of packages featured in my pip freeze is :

This worked for me. Thank you so much @olimagsax

[blakerutledge-g]

In case the above from @olimagsax does not work for you like it did not for me... I was able to get things going like this:

• Python 3.9.16
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• pip install mediapipe-model-maker==0.2.1.3 --no-deps

This worked for me too, thank you !

Hi @olimagsax thanks for the workaround,

@tomershukhman if this helps feel free to close this issue, 😊

[blakerutledge-g]

Would still love for this to be resolved properly and not close the issue -- the current workaround is very brittle and only works for the time being, no guarantee it will continue to work. This package should be marked as unsupported or deprecated if it will continue to fail a simple pip install and a googler wont fix it

I understand your frustration it's definitely not an ideal situation when a simple pip install fails.

While we wait for the permanent fix in the next release, In the meantime you can give this a try this should resolve the installation issue for now. and let me know

[blakerutledge-g]

Is there a permanent fix coming?
