Answer 1

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 64bits. I solve this issue by:

mkdir -p ~/code/download/lib/tensorflow/
cd ~/code/download/lib/tensorflow/
virtualenv --system-site-packages tensorflow_for_ubuntu12_04_64bit_python2_7
source tensorflow_for_ubuntu12_04_64bit_python2_7/bin/activate
cd tensorflow_for_ubuntu12_04_64bit_python2_7
pip install --upgrade tensorflow

Answer 2

Try upgrade protobuf with pip install:

sudo pip install --upgrade protobuf 
sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-cp27-none-any.whl

worked for me. The documentation has provided many solutions for various installation problems.

Answer 3

Tensorflow requires python -V 2.7. Since, lot of machine use the stable 2.6 version of python for their system build I would recommend parallel/alternative install of python 2.7. Then you can install pip with 2.7 version python interpreter. Please see below:

#sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py
#sudo python2.7 ez_setup.py
#easy_install-2.7 pip
#sudo pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.5.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

Answer 4

from https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/56

The command to type is "pip install --upgrade pip", and this should be added to the instructions right after where they tell the user to "source bin/activate"

Answer 5

the filename you are running sdist with must be named setup.py running the file as say setup_something.py will fail
