auto install tensorflow-probability 0.9.0 but requires 0.8.0

[leomichalski]

I solved it by uninstalling tensorflow-probability==0.9.0 and installing 0.8.0.

Observation: My TensorFlow version is 1.15.

$ pip install kfac

I have the exact same problem. Did you manage to solve it @leomichalski ?

[leomichalski]

Does running "pip install tensorflow-probability==0.8" after installing kfac works for you?

[StaelTchinda]

Yes, it did. Thank you. I hope it will not cause further problems later.
