I want to do some small projects with TensorFlow and it works fine, but can not make Tensorboard work. I’m also kinda new to Linux, so I’m not sure that everything I do is correct.  
To start up Tensorboard easier I made a symbolic link to the …/.julia/v0.6/Conda/deps/usr/bin/tensorboard file in the /usr/local/bin/ folder (as suggested in the julia platform specific instructions to run julia).  
When I try to start it with the command:

```julia
tensorboard --logdir=/tmp --port=8000

```

I get the following error:

```julia
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/tensorboard", line 7, in <module>
    from tensorboard.main import run_main
  File "/home/ubuntu/.julia/v0.6/Conda/deps/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorboard/main.py", line 28, in <module>
    import tensorflow as tf
  File "/home/ubuntu/.julia/v0.6/Conda/deps/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/ __init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow # pylint: disable=unused-import
  File "/home/ubuntu/.julia/v0.6/Conda/deps/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/ __init__.py", line 47, in <module>
    import numpy as np
ImportError: No module named numpy

```

I don’t really know, if my Python/Conda environment has issues, or I’m missing something else. I also tried to rebuild the package, which didn’t help.

It sounds like you need to install numpy.  
Does

using Conda  
Conda.add(“numpy”)

work?

Yes, it worked! Thank you!
