plaidml-setup is not recognized on Windows, even after successful installation

I followed all the steps as on the documentation from VertexAI but after installing plaidml-keras, when I try to run setup, it throws an error.

Please can someone help me get through this.

Solution

  • So, I didn't find a solution to the original problem, even after multiple reinstalls. Finally, I uninstalled Python, and installed Anaconda3. Installing plaidml through the Anaconda prompt worked. Sadly my GPU is too old to even be recognized. AMD Radeon HD 7870.

    But hey, if any future reader of this post has the same issue, try Anaconda prompt. Its highly probable you have it installed anyways. Happy Coding.
