tfjs-node fails to install correctly op Raspberry Pi

[beele]

TensorFlow.js version

1.7.2 (and older ones too, however some very old versions do work on the rbi, like 1.2.11 do work)

Node version

12.14.1

Raspbian version

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

Tested on a Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM

Describe the problem or feature request

After installing the tfjs-node dependency, the required rebuild step fails with the message: Unsupported system: cpu-linux-arm

Code to reproduce the bug / link to feature request

• Create a dummy test folder named test
• In that folder install the latest version of tfjs-node npm i @tensorflow/tfjs-node
• Run the rebuild script as indicated by the readme (as per: https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/tree/master/tfjs-node#rebuild-the-package-on-raspberry-pi)
• This results in an error:

> @tensorflow/[email protected] install /home/pi/test/node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-node
> node scripts/install.js

How can I install a recent version that does work on the rbpi?

Thanks @beele for reporting this issue. I'm also experiencing this exact issue. Thanks y'all for looking into it. :)

FYI wanted to update that I found a similar issue also open and these instructions worked for me on a RPI 4 (in the meantime til this is resolved):

Similar issue: #2872

@kangyizhang any progress on this?

[paolomemoli]

The workaround outlined by @traumverloren is not working for me.

Anyone got any ideas how/when this will work?

Same problem, also tried npm rebuild @tensorflow/tfjs-node --build-addon-from-source or npm rebuild @tensorflow/tfjs-node --build-from-source without success.

I'm also looking for a solution for the same issue Pi 4.
