Tensorflow installation error: not a supported wheel on this platform

Question

when I try to install tensorflow by cloning from git, I run into the error \"no module named copyreg,\" so I tried installing using a virtualenv. However, I then run into th

Answer 1

The pip wheel contains the python version in its name (cp34-cp34m). If you download the whl file and rename it to say py3-none or instead, it should work. Can you try that?

The installation won't work for anaconda users that choose python 3 support because the installation procedure is asking to create a python 3.5 environment and the file is currently called cp34-cp34m. So renaming it would do the job for now.

sudo pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.7.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl

This will produced the exact error message you got above. However, when you will downloaded the file yourself and rename it to "tensorflow-0.7.0-py3-none-linux_x86_64.whl", then execute the command again with changed filename, it should work fine.

I faced the same issue and tried all the solutions that folks suggested here and other links (like https://askubuntu.com/questions/695981/platform-not-supported-for-tensorflow-on-ubuntu-14-04-2).

It was so frustrating because using print(wheel.pep425tags.get_supported()) I could see that my ubuntu supported ('cp37', 'cp37m', 'linux_x86_64') and that was exactly what I was trying to install (from https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.14.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl).

What at the end fixed it was to simply download the package first and then

pip install tensorflow-1.14.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl

Answer 3

Seems that tensorflow only work on python 3.5 at the moment, try to run this command before running the pip install

conda create --name tensorflow python=3.5

After this running the following lines :

For cpu :

pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.1.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

For gpu :

pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-1.1.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

Should work like a charm,

Cheers

Answer 4

Make sure that the wheel is, well, supported by your platform. Pip uses the wheel's filename to determine compatibility. The format is:

tensorflow-{version}-{python version}-none-{your platform}.whl

I didn't realize that x86_64 refers to x64, I thought it meant either x86 or x64, so I banged my head against this futilely for some time. Tensorflow is not available for 32 bit systems, unless you want to compile it yourself.

Answer 5

I was trying to do the windows-based install and kept getting this error.

Turns out you have to have python 3.5.2. Not 2.7, not 3.6.x-- nothing other than 3.5.2.

After installing python 3.5.2 the pip install worked.

Answer 6

actually, you can use Python 3.5., I successfully solved this problem with Python 3.5.3. Modify python version to 3.5. in conda, see https://conda.io/docs/py2or3.html. then go to https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows, and repeat from "Create a conda environment named tensorflow by invoking the following command" BLA BLA.....
