Is it possible to run tensorflow v1.x now on google colab

Question

I have been working on voice deepfake, but every program i used (for example mekatron, tacotron etc) needed tensorflow v1.x which is now unsupported on google colab, is there any way to use it? I am a begginer.

I tried use automatic update program but it always cause many errors when I try to use my program. Is there any trick or something to run program on google colab with tensorflow v2.x.

Answer 1

Yes, Tensorflow 1.x is no longer supported. Hence this code %tensorflow_version 1.x of changing runtime into TF 1.x is not working anymore.

However, You can explicitly install tensorflow 1.x in Google Colab to use TF 1.x functionality as below:

pip install tensorflow==1.15 and restart the runtime.

Or
Please check this migration guide to convert your code from TF 1.x to TF 2.x.
