Tensorflow import error: No module named 'tensorflow'

Question

I installed TensorFlow on my Windows Python 3.5 Anaconda environment The validation was successful (with a warning)

(tensorflow) C:\\>python

Answer 1

The reason Python 3.5 environment is unable to import Tensorflow is that Anaconda does not store the tensorflow package in the same environment.

One solution is to create a new separate environment in Anaconda dedicated to TensorFlow with its own Spyder

conda create -n newenvt anaconda python=3.5
activate newenvt

and then install tensorflow into newenvt
