You need one of them PyTorch or Tensorflow. You can check if tensorflow is installed or you can reinstall it

pip uninstall tensorflow
pip install tensorflow==2.2.0
pip uninstall transformers
pip install transformers==3.3.1

If a Python package isn't installed, when you run uninstall, you well see the following message

MarkupSafe

MarkupSafe was able to be downgraded to 2.0.1

pip install markupsafe==2.0.1

However, reading the installer response

ERROR: werkzeug 3.0.0 has requirement MarkupSafe>=2.1.1, but you'll have markupsafe 2.0.1 which is incompatible.

werkzeug

However, not the same could be said for werkzeug. It was running at 3.0.0 and to function needed MarkupSafe to be >= 2.1.1

Time to downgrade. Eventually I found the package that worked being 2.1.2

pip install werkzeug==2.1.2

Back to installing MarkupSafe

pip install markupsafe==2.0.1

Accordingly the response was

Requirement already satisfied: markupsafe==2.0.1 in /home/fdrc_drupal_dev/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (2.0.1)
