Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'paddle' ↓

cause You installed paddlepaddle (CPU) but not paddlepaddle-gpu or did not import correctly.

fix

Run 'pip install paddlepaddle-gpu' and use 'import paddle'.

error RuntimeError: (PreconditionNotMet) Cannot load cudnn shared library. Cannot call CUDNN API. ↓

cause Your system lacks the required cuDNN version for the installed paddlepaddle-gpu wheel.

fix

Install matching cuDNN or install a different wheel version that matches your CUDA/cuDNN.

breaking PaddlePaddle 2.0+ changed many APIs (e.g., fluid module removed). Code written for v1.x will not work without modifications. ↓

fix Migrate from fluid API to new imperative API. See migration guide.

gotcha When using paddlepaddle-gpu, your CUDA and cuDNN versions must match the prebuilt wheel. Check compatibility matrix. ↓

fix Install from official site or specify version matching your CUDA.

deprecated paddle.fluid has been deprecated since 2.3. Use paddle.nn, paddle.optimizer, etc. ↓

fix Replace fluid layers with corresponding paddle.nn layers.
