Hi,

Good day to you.

Thanks for posting in Intel communities.

For installing TensorFlow 2.14.0 package, flatbuffers package version >=23.5.26 is required as per the generated error:

Could not solve for environment specs

The following package could not be installed

└─ tensorflow 2.14.0** is not installable because it requires

└─ flatbuffers >=23.5.26 , which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel).

The latest version of this package is only available in the conda-forge channel. So kindly follow the below commands to create the environment and install TensorFlow version 2.14.0:

$ conda create -n intel -c intel python=3.10
$ conda activate intel
$ conda install -c conda-forge flatbuffers
$ conda install tensorflow=2.14.0

If this resolves your issue, kindly mark it as a solution as this would help others with a similar issue.

Regards,

Sreedevi

Okay, I was not sure that it was expected to have to use the conda-forge channel.  Thank you for confirming that.

Hi,

Thanks for accepting our solution.

If you are using latest Tensorflow package which is available in the Intel channel, flatbuffers are not required. Since, you are using Tensorflow(2.14.0), flatbuffers package version >=23.5.26 is required.

You can try using the below command to create a Python 3.10 environment and install the latest Tensorflow available in the Intel channel by using the following command:

conda create -n intel -c intel python=3.10 tensorflow

If you need any additional information, please post a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel.
