I am currently facing a really frustrating problem with installing tensorflow federated. I am on M2 Macbook Air, using virtual env, no conda. I was following this tutorial, and did the following: Created a new folder Set the local Python versoion to: pyenv local 3.13.2 Created a new environment with: python -m venv tff-venv Upgraded pip with: pip install --upgrade "pip" Tried to install tensorflow federated with: pip install --upgrade tensorflow-federated I got this error: Collecting absl-py~=0.9.0 (from tensorflow-federated) Using cached absl-py-0.9.0.tar.gz (104 kB) Installing build dependencies ... done Getting requirements to build wheel ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully. .... .... File "<string>", line 34, in <module> RuntimeError: Python version 2.7 or 3.4+ is required. [end of output] After that I googled a bit, and found out that the package apparently thinks that python 3.13 is less than 3.4, because it compares string. Thus, I deleted the venv, and then set the local python version to 3.9.15 (Step 2) and followed the rest of the steps. However, I again got an error while trying to pip install tensorflow-federated: ... ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler' ... Thus, I am bit stuck as I have no clue what could be wrong and how I could fix it. I would be grateful for any help! Continue reading...
