Installing Tensorflow in R, MacOS Ventura 13.3 on Apple Mi Max

[fabarrios]

Following the instructions at https://tensorflow.rstudio.com/install/

In RStudio:

After making r-reticulate environment , and install tensorflow get:

install_tensorflow(envname = "r-reticulate") Installing: tensorflow-deps

• '/Users/barrios/miniconda/bin/conda' 'install' '--yes' '--name' 'r-reticulate' '-c' 'apple' '-c' 'conda-forge' 'tensorflow-deps' Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): ...working... done Solving environment: ...working... failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve. Solving environment: ...working... failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): ...working... done Solving environment: ...working... failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve. Solving environment: ...working...

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other:

Output in format: Requested package -> Available versions

Error: one or more Python packages failed to install [error code 1]

Then if I try to install keras I get the same:

Installing: tensorflow-deps

How did you make the r-reticulate environment? It looks like there was something previously installed into the 'r-reticulate' conda env, and then the conda dependency resolver is failing because the new request conflicts with the previously installed request. (This is unfortunately, a common situation with conda).

The quickest path to success is to create a fresh, dedicated, conda environment.

reticulate::conda_remove("r-reticulate")
tensorflow::install_tensorflow(condaenv = "r-reticulate")

It looks like you've installed miniconda manually and didn't use reticulate::install_miniconda(). If you're more comfortable managing conda from the terminal, here is an example showing how:

## If you installed miniconda using reticulate::install_miniconda()
# source /Users/$USER/Library/r-miniconda-arm64/bin/activate

conda create --yes --name r-tensorflow
conda activate r-tensorflow
conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps
python -m pip install tensorflow-macos
python -m pip install tensorflow-metal

Thank you very much

To a new session of RStudio I did:

reticulate::conda_remove("r-reticulate")

Since you are right, I did install miniconda manually from: Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh of another project, at RStudio I reinstalled miniconda (hoping for the best):

reticulate::install_miniconda()

I noticed that python this time is 3.8, and not 3.11 (from my homebrew), and then did: Library (tensor flow) tensorFlow::install_tensorflow(condaenv = "r-reticulate")

This time the installation finished. Now I can continue working with your book. Thank you very much. Fernando
