Question

just installed tensorflow using pip with the command:

$ pip install tensorflow

On the \"Getting Started\" for Tensorflow they have an example for co

Answer 1

It depends on where is the $TENSORFLOW environment variable is set. Let's help it setup.

First check, $ echo $TENSORFLOW if it returns blank, you need to setup the access of tensorflow in any directory from your console.

There are two cases of that:

1. In case you have python from anaconda library/environment (let say you have anaconda2), the usually installed location is: ~/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-package/tensorflow

2. In case of Python2.x or Python3.x, x = is subversion like 2.7 or 3.5, the usually installed location is: /usr/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages/tensorflow

Now that you have identified the python version, use it as the onetime path in bash or profile. Type this Linux code:

$ vi ~/.bashrc

add this line at the bottom of the bashrc file.

$ export $TENSORFLOW="~/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow:$PATH"

check again in a new terminal

$ echo $TENSORFLOW to verify.

or use `source ~/.bashrc' to reload the new environment variables.

Now you can all set to use

$ python tensorflow/models/image/mnist/convolutional.py

directly by

$ python -m tensorflow.models.image.mnist.convolutional.py

Now your program as per description in TensorFlow tutorial will search these path with period (.) instead of "/" with the -m argument.
