Install cleverHans on windows

Question

I hope all of you are doing Great. I need to install cleverhans on windows for some project but once installed it was unable to access any python file in there and I got a lot of errors like:

AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'GraphKeys'

I hope to have a lot of answers from you. Have a nice day.

Answer 1

Looks like cleverhans is designed to use an older version of tensorflow. To make it downward compatible replace

import tensorflow as tf

with

import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf

in the cleverhans source code or look if there is an updated version of cleverhans available or uninstall tensorflow and install an older version (v1) instead.

See: Tensorflow 2.1.0 Error, module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'GraphKeys'

From cleverhans GitHub repo:

"Currently supported setups

Although CleverHans is likely to work on many other machine configurations, we currently test it it with Python 3.5 and TensorFlow {1.8, 1.12} on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (Trusty Tahr)."
