tfjs-node@4.2.0 install fails on Windows machine

[enyineer]

System information

• Windows 11 Pro 21H2
• TensorFlow.js installed from (npm or script link): yarn@3.3.1 / npmjs
• TensorFlow.js version: "@tensorflow/tfjs-node": "^4.2.0"
• CUDA/cuDNN version: None (CPU version)

When installing tfjs-node ^4.2.0 node-gyp fails to download the prebuilt binaries for napi-v8:

https://storage.googleapis.com/tf-builds/pre-built-binary/napi-v8/4.2.0/CPU-linux-4.2.0.tar.gz exists, but https://storage.googleapis.com/tf-builds/pre-built-binary/napi-v8/4.2.0/CPU-windows-4.2.0.zip doesn't.

Command: yarn add @tensorflow/tfjs-node

Any other info / logs

I got the same error. I think this is because https://storage.googleapis.com/tf-builds/pre-built-binary/napi-v8/4.2.0/CPU-windows-4.2.0.zip doesn't exist. I went to https://storage.googleapis.com/tf-builds/ to see what binaries exist and searched for windows. The latest version I see is pre-built-binary/napi-v8/3.18.0/CPU-windows-3.18.0.zip.

The workaround I had to do to get this working is to just use the older version 3.18.0 so:

# save-exact flag so we don't allow any other version installed until correct binary is uploaded to tf-builds
npm install --save-exact @tensorflow/tfjs-node@3.18.0

@kevo1ution I ran into the same issue and noticed the link for version 4.2.0 for windows didn't exist. I didn't think to install an older version. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, @enyineer

Apologize for the delayed response and I checked this link and pre-built-binary/napi-v8/4.2.0/CPU-windows-4.2.0.zip file is not available at the moment for windows and if someone is looking to use on Windows so last supported file is available pre-built-binary/napi-v8/3.18.0/CPU-windows-3.18.0.zip at the moment and for linux CPU and GPU both are available for pre-built-binary/napi-v8/4.2.0/

Hi, @pyu10055 Do you have any update about tfjs-node@4.2.0 support for windows please ? Thank you!

I still have the same error (I think) - using npm install --save-exact @tensorflow/tfjs-node@3.18.0
I have all the required stuff installed and -
get this error

Would love some additional information on this error.
