Tensorflow packages often assume the processor supports avx2. Our Xeon process does not, and requires tensorflow to be compiled without this flag.
Verify dependencies
sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip
Install Dependencies
sudo pip3 install numpy
Install Bazel using Bazelisk
sudo npm install -g @bazel/bazelisk
Checkout Tensorflow
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow.git cd tensorflow
Configure
Keep all defaults
./configure
Compile
The jobs parameter may be needed to reduce memory dependencies on some servers
bazel build --jobs 2 //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
I got compilation errors at one point and some guidance said to add the following to the command to reduce memory consumption:
--local_ram_resources 2048
or
bazel build --jobs 2 --local_ram_resources 2048 //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
