Case above is in linux system. Also I found that mac m1 is not supported, any solution? (cannot install through pip install )

[jonarchist]

Hi, thanks for reporting. This looks like a problem with our wheel files. It might take a while to debug this. Can you tell us what linux distro and version you are using?

[gitlabspy]

Debian 10. I solved it by downgrading both tf and tfc to 2.8.0, which does not require GLIBC_2.29.

[jonarchist]

The 2.9.2 release should fix this problem. Would you mind trying this on your system and confirming? Thanks.

[gitlabspy]

It works fine now! M1 chip mac can not install through pip install tensorflow-compression , No matching distribution found for tensorflow-compression...

[jonarchist]

Great, thanks for confirming. Regarding M1, unfortunately we don't have binaries available for that platform yet. We will consider to add them once TensorFlow has binary packages for M1.
