Npm installation fails.

Update: The original content of this thread is not important any more. Please keep 2 things in mind in order to install tenforflow.js successfully. 1, npm could be slow, as you might already know. To solve this, you can update npm to its very latest version or you can try yarn. If you are in China, yarn is generally faster. Also, when you use yarn in windows, you probably get a link from your powershell, open that page, search for Set-ExecutionPolicy. Or you simply type Set-ExecutionPolicy in your powershell and then Bypass and then to all. If you care, set it back to Default after using yarn. 2, Any extra firewall, safety and security software may mess any installation. My A***t messed all my vs2022 updating and npm(and pip when I tried pip install tensorflow). After turning it off, I reinstalled vs2022, and started up with a new react project, yarn installed tfjs, and they all worked again. Notice, I only mean the EXTRA safery softwares, I didn’t turn off the default firewall came along with windows to fix my dev env. 3, A trivial detail. I don’t know how to setup tfjs with pure node.js. But it’s easy to setup with any react template if you use visual studio. I didn’t try but I guess it’s the same way to setup with vue or angular. The key is that, tfjs needs dom. If this update helps or not, please let me know. Feel free to comment in here.

Original content: System information

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Windows 10
• Mobile device (e.g. iPhone 8, Pixel 2, Samsung Galaxy) if the issue happens on mobile device: -
• TensorFlow.js installed from (npm or script link): npm install @tensorflow/tfjs-node-gpu
• TensorFlow.js version: 3.12.0
• CUDA/cuDNN version: CUDA@11.5, cuDNN@8.3.1 #define CUDNN_MAJOR 8 #define CUDNN_MINOR 3 #define CUDNN_PATCHLEVEL 1

Describe the problem I opened up a default react ts project in vs 2022 stable version. View -> terminal. In terminal, npm install @tensorflow/tfjs or tfjs-node or tfjs-node-gpu. None of them works. I also tried npm install in the terminal directly opened from Windows 10 and failed. I don’t know if this issue is caused by the internet since I’m in China. The familiar 404, you know.

Provide the exact sequence of commands / steps that you executed before running into the problem As above.

Any other info / logs npm install @tensorflow/tfjs-node-gpu

Tomorrow I’ll try installing the python version with pip to check if both ways fail. Btw, would you please add some guide for typescript with tf. The type system is too helpful. Thanks.

I was able to solve this problem. I’ll leave the resolution steps for others to follow.

1. install build tools from this
2. install (Be sure to check the C++ box.)
3. npm config set msvs_version 2019
4. npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
5. Install again
6. It works!!
