What happened?

Hello, I ran the new 2.3 install.sh to update an existing setup but it exits with the following errors. Protobuf is installed both inside the environment and outside.

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/tb_nightly-2.12.0a20221201-py3.10.egg/tensorboard/compat/proto/event_pb2.py", line 7, in <module>
    from google.protobuf.internal import enum_type_wrapper
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google.protobuf'

Maybe it's a version problem, but I'm not able to figure it out. Thank you for any help!

it seems you've got Torch installed in your global environment (dist-packages). I suspect this is throwing some kind of a wrench in the works. It's not a configuration we test for. Could you please try to sudo pip uninstall torch (while NOT in an active virtual env), and then re-run the installer?

[ihauh]

I did sudo pip uninstall torch and re-ran the installer, still error. I don' understand why it would still use the system python setup while inside the virtual env.

I should add that the installation and the resulting invoke.sh seems to be working "fine", I'm just not sure if those errors are affecting the setup.

Interesting, it seems the error is actually coming from tensorboard. You might want to try the same uninstall/reinstall step with that package. Ultimately you don't want any additional packages installed in your global system environment. But good to know that the application actually works for you despite the errors.

[ihauh]

According to pip tensorboard was not installed on my system, but I found a directory and removed it to be safe. Anyway the installation script now doesn't use other packages but it's the same error. (I also switched to the default directory in case it had anything to do with it, this was an attempt at a "clean" install.)
