Installation fails because of tensorflow version

[ani-titan]

Hi!
Any of the installation methods (listed here: https://causalbgm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) fails because of tensorflow specified version:

1. pip install CausalBGM
   ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflo==2.10.0 (from causalbgm) (from versions: none)
   ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflo==2.10.0
2. pip install git+https://github.com/SUwonglab/CausalBGM.git
   ERROR: git+https://github.com/SUwonglab/CausalBGM.git does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.
   3)git clone https://github.com/SUwonglab/CausalBGM && cd CausalBGM/src
   pip install -e .

I've fixed the pip installation bugs. Now it can be installed by pip install CausalBGM.

[ani-titan]

sorry, but it's still failing:
ERROR: Cannot install causalbgm==0.1.0 and causalbgm==0.1.3 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
causalbgm 0.1.3 depends on tensorflow==2.10.0
causalbgm 0.1.0 depends on tensorflo==2.10.0

To fix this you could try to:

1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Thank you for reporting the issue. Tensorflow2.10 is recommended as I've tried other version of Tensorflow, but there is slight performance discrepancy.

I've tested in a virtual environment through pip install CausalBGM. It works out fine. After installing it, you can use command line causalBGM --help or use python APIs. Could you please let me know which step is wrong?

I am getting the error when running pip install CausalBGM

It seems that you have multiple versions of causalbgm, could you try to uninstall them, and try to install pip install CausalBGM==0.1.4, let me know if you have any further issue.

[ani-titan]

The problem is that the tf version you specified isn't available in pip.

[kimmo1019]

The problem is that the tf version you specified isn't available in pip.

Thanks for reporting the incombatible program, after investigating, Tensorflow 2.10.0 only supports Python versions up to 3.10. You may need a python from 3.7 to 3.10. Then you should be able to install the package, sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know whether it works, the feedback is very important to me!

Thank you so much! I've been using CausalEGM and I am excited to test CausalBGM.
Unfortunately I am using a special env with python 3.9 as I knew that Tensorflow 2.10.0 wouldn't support >3.11. The problem is that there is no Tensorflow 2.10.0 distribution available in pip.

[ani-titan]

In CausalEGM you have 'tensorflow>=2.8.0' in settings and it works fine.

So happy to know that you are interested in our CausalEGM and CausalBGM works, your feedback is very important. A virtual env with python 3.9 should work with tensorflow 2.10.0. I'm developing CausalBGM with exact python3.9 and tensorflow 2.10

Yes, I develop CausalEGM with tensorflow 2.8.0. CausalBGM is a bit tricky as there is some discrepancy with newer tensorflow and tensorflow-probability libraries. In order to make results reproducible, I restrict the environment to be the same as mine.
