Greetings. I have successfully built the demo python container and added most of my requirements such as python-opencv, etc. So I’m almost there… but I need Tensorflow2 and have not been able to find a package that will install via requirements.txt. Am I missing something obvious? Do I need to build from source? Thanks in advance.

Hi,  
Perhaps you could share your Dockerfile? This might help us to understand what you are missing.

Thanks!

Hi Robert, can you please share a link to the python demo that you are using? Also, can you share the `requirements.txt`? It’s possible that the items in `requirements.txt` might be somehow conflicting with Tensorflow2.

[GitHub - balena-io-examples/balena-python-hello-world: Example of how to deploy Python code on a balena supported device.](https://github.com/balena-io-examples/balena-python-hello-world) This is a Google Coral device. The requirements.txt file is the stock file that is created when a new device is created.

Thanks for your response Robert. Can you share any error messages that appear when you try to install Tensorflow2 via `requirements.txt`? Having provisioned a device with another block that had it’s own `requirements.txt`, my hunch is that something in the requirements is either conflicting with Tensorflow2, or something is not getting installed correctly via the commands in the docker file.

I have no idea how to install tensorflow 2 on jetson with balena either. I tried lots and lots of tutorials, but everything is hard with balena and nothing works the way Nvidia shows on their website.

I don’t even know how the JetPack version it uses! I’ve been trying to talk to support without a clear answer.

Hello @tiagodavi apologizes to see that you are not succeeding!

Could you please share more details? what NVIDIA device do you have? what tutorials did you try? What errors do you get?

Thanks!
