## Estimator Source Code

DeepRec provide new distributed protocols such as grpc++ and star_server, which is not supported when use native Estimator. We provide Estimator based on DeepRec.

Source Code: [https://github.com/DeepRec-AI/estimator](https://github.com/DeepRec-AI/estimator)

Develop Branch：master, Latest Release Branch: deeprec2402

## Estimator Build

**Build Package Builder**

```bash
bazel build //tensorflow_estimator/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
```

**Build Package**

```bash
bazel-bin/tensorflow_estimator/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/estimator_whl
```

## Estimator Install Package

Installing DeepRec will install the native tensorflow-estimator by default, please reinstall the compiled Estimator.
