I am trying to normally import the TensorFlow python package, but I get the following error:

enter image description here

Here is the text from the above terminal image:

This is a warning, not an error. You can still use TensorFlow. The shared libraries libnvinfer and libnvinfer_plugin are optional and required only if you are using nvidia's TensorRT capabilities.

TensorFlow's installation instructions list the GPU dependencies:

The following NVIDIA® software must be installed on your system:

  • NVIDIA® GPU drivers —CUDA 10.1 requires 418.x or higher.
  • CUDA® Toolkit —TensorFlow supports CUDA 10.1 (TensorFlow >= 2.1.0)
  • CUPTI ships with the CUDA Toolkit.
  • cuDNN SDK (>= 7.6)
  • (Optional) TensorRT 6.0 to improve latency and throughput for inference on some models.

You can install these on Ubuntu 18.04 with the following commands (taken from the TensorFlow documentation):

# Add NVIDIA package repositories
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804_10.1.243-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1804_10.1.243-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
sudo apt-get update
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/nvidia-machine-learning-repo-ubuntu1804_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./nvidia-machine-learning-repo-ubuntu1804_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update

# Install NVIDIA driver
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends nvidia-driver-430
# Reboot. Check that GPUs are visible using the command: nvidia-smi

# Install development and runtime libraries (~4GB)
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends \
    cuda-10-1 \
    libcudnn7=7.6.4.38-1+cuda10.1  \
    libcudnn7-dev=7.6.4.38-1+cuda10.1


# Install TensorRT. Requires that libcudnn7 is installed above.
sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libnvinfer6=6.0.1-1+cuda10.1 \
    libnvinfer-dev=6.0.1-1+cuda10.1 \
    libnvinfer-plugin6=6.0.1-1+cuda10.1
