How to Update Tensorflow from source

Question

I installed the latest Tensorflow 0.5.0 from source via git clone. and want to update to Tensorflow 0.6.0

git pull
./configure
baze         


        

Answer 1

git pull doesn't work for me since some local files are modified by the last build so with a slight modification I update like this:

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
./configure
bazel build -c opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg
sudo pip install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-0.8.0-py2-none-any.whl

Tested to work as of today. The Installation from Source instructions in tensorflow docs are misleading in the sense they only include the real pip wheel installation commands for Mac and the example-trainer build command exists instead in Linux instructions.
