Include the installed numpy version should be 1.19.5 and protobuf==3.20.*

When I tried to import tensorflow, I got the following error:

If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:
 1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
 2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

The solution for the above error is to do pip uninstall numpy && pip install numpy==1.19.5

After that I got the below error:

`np.object` was a deprecated alias for the builtin `object`. To avoid this error in existing code, use `object` by itself. Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe. 
The aliases was originally deprecated in NumPy 1.20; for more details and guidance see the original release note at:
    https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations

For that, I solved it by using pip uninstall numpy && pip install numpy==1.19.5

I guess that's caused by deps in the old tensorflow doesn't have version boundary. Might be good to include this

I think you've made a typo in your first line of code, it's this for the first error:

• pip uninstall protobuf && pip install protobuf==3.20.*

and this for the second error:

• pip uninstall numpy && pip install numpy==1.19.5

@refeed @regerind Thanks to both, added in d73b491.
