Tensorboard not found as magic function in jupyter

I want to run tensorboard in jupyter using the latest tensorflow 2.0.0a0. With the tensorboard version 1.13.1, and python 3.6.

using

... %tensorboard --logdir {logs_base_dir}

I get the error :

UsageError: Line magic function %tensorboard not found

Do you have an idea what the problem could be? It seems that all versions are up to date and the command seems correct too.

Thanks

Solution

  • UPDATE

    For newer TF versions (tensorflow>=1.14.0 & tensorflow != 2.0.0a0 - newer than TF2.0-alpha) load the extension like this

    %load_ext tensorboard

    OLD ANSWER

    The extension needs to be loaded first:

    %load_ext tensorboard.notebook
%tensorboard --logdir {logs_base_dir}
