The flag 'log_dir' is defined twice - While running the ./demo.sh

[pidugusundeep]

Error :

absl.flags._exceptions.DuplicateFlagError: The flag 'log_dir' is defined twice. First from absl.logging, Second from flags. Description from first occurrence: directory to write logfiles into

What's the fix to this?

Could you please run the following command and post the output here?
pip freeze | grep absl

[pidugusundeep]

$ pip freeze | grep absl

   absl-py==0.5.0

[tomhosking]

Weird, I haven't seen this before. I guess you can comment out the declaration in flags.py for now, I'll see if I can find out why it works for me.

had this issue while installing the requirements is there a problem with the installation?

[tomhosking]

requirements.txt specifies tensorflow version 1.12, I don't know if 1.14 is compatible with the code.

Sorry i was using python 3.7 and i was unable to install tensorflow 1.12.0 so i downgraded to python 3.6 and i was able to run the application (./demo.sh) .
