tensorflow federated installation

[garytann]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is. It is often helpful to
provide a link to a colab notebook that
reproduces the bug.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Mac OS M1 ARM
• Python package versions (e.g., TensorFlow Federated, TensorFlow): NIL
• Python version: 3.9/3.10
• Bazel version (if building from source): NIL
• CUDA/cuDNN version: NIL
• What TensorFlow Federated execution stack are you using? NIL

Note: You can collect the Python package information by running pip3 freeze
from the command line and most of the other information can be collected using
TensorFlows environment capture
script.

Expected behavior
I am trying to install tensorflow federated, however I am facing alot of deps issue. I have tried referencing to the solution provided in https://github.com/tensorflow/federated/issues/1254 however, it might have been outdated I presumed? and I am unable to install the libraries properly. Would appreciate if someone can offer some assistance.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

I am experiencing the same issue.
Python 3.10.11
$ pip install --upgrade tensorflow-federated
returns

The issue appears to be that we are running this on macOS: #3881

I have the same problem. Trying to install tensorflow federated on Pyhton3.9/ from the last few days but no success. I tried downgrading tensorflow version to 2.5 with python 3.9 but same problem.

[BPDanek]

You will not be able to run this on mac. You need to run it in collab or a linux backend.

Downgrade your Python version to Python 3.9 and you are good to go. Sucks a bit, but tensorflow-federated needs to update the absl-py package version.

This is a bug in [one of the libraries]. The required release number absl-py~=0.9.0 does Python version comparison like this way in the abseil-py package. The comparison worked just fine for Pythons up to 3.9 but fails with 3.10+. When py_version is ('3', '10') the comparison returns False because in Python '10' is less then '4'; for strings Python compares '1' and '4'. (Integer 10 is of course > 4).

This means that for now you can only use with Python 2.7 and 3.5-3.9 but not with 3.10+.

I am still facing issues while installing in Mac OS even after downgrading. Is there any way to solve this?

[evgri243]

@aramasethu, I have just raised a PR #4270 with macOS (M1-M2) build configuration (originally started for my own needs). You may give it a try, follow the installation instructions from the PR.

Let me know if you find any issues or something not working out of the box.

Please keep in mind that you should still build TensorFlow Text and TensorFlow Compression and install them manually into the environment as they still don't provide prebuilt packages, and otherwise installation will fail with unsatisfied dependencies.

Hi I am also facing the very same issue, but with Windows OS, having the 3.9 Py --version. It's not leading anywhere,

Hey,@BPDanek ...
you need to install Tensorflow federated learning version 0.20.0
!pip install --quiet tensorflow-federated==0.20.0
