Question

I\'m trying to intstall TensorFlow using pip:

$ pip install tensorflow --user
Collecting tensorflow
Could not find          


        

Answer 1

You need to use right version of Python and pip

On Windows 10, with Python 3.6.X version I was facing same then after checking deliberately , I noticed I had Python-32 bit installation on my 64 bit machine. Remember TensorFlow is only compatible with 64bit installation of python. Not 32 bit of Python

If we download Python from python.org , the default installation would be 32 bit. So we have to download 64 bit installer manually to install Python 64 bit. And then add below to PATH environment.

C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36
C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts

Then run gpupdate /Force on command prompt. If python command doesnt work for 64 bit restart your machine.

Then run python on command prompt. It should show 64 bit

C:\Users\YOURNAME>python
Python 3.6.3 (v3.6.3:2c5fed8, Oct  3 2017, 18:11:49) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Then run below command to install tensorflow CPU version(recommended)

pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow

October 2020 update:

Tensorflow now supports Python 3.5.x through Python 3.8.x, but you still have to use a 64-bit version.

If you need to run multiple versions of Python on the same machine, you can use a virtual environment to help manage them.

I had the same problem and solved with this:

# Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, CPU only, Python 2.7
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

# Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, GPU enabled, Python 2.7
# Requires CUDA toolkit 8.0 and CuDNN v5. For other versions, see "Installing from sources" below.

# Mac OS X, CPU only, Python 2.7:
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-py2-none-any.whl

# Mac OS X, GPU enabled, Python 2.7:
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.1-py2-none-any.whl

# Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, CPU only, Python 3.4
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl

# Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, GPU enabled, Python 3.4

# Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, CPU only, Python 3.5
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl

# Requires CUDA toolkit 8.0 and CuDNN v5. For other versions, see "Installing from sources" below.
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.1-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl

# Mac OS X, CPU only, Python 3.4 or 3.5:
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-py3-none-any.whl

# Mac OS X, GPU enabled, Python 3.4 or 3.5:
(tensorflow)$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.1-py3-none-any.whl

Plus:

# Python 2
(tensorflow)$ pip install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

# Python 3
(tensorflow)$ pip3 install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

Found on Docs.

UPDATE!

There are new links for new versions

For example, for installing tensorflow v1.0.0 in OSX you need to use:

https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-py2-none-any.whl

instead of

https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-py2-none-any.whl

Answer 3

Try this:

export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.1-py3-none-any.whl
pip3 install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

Source: https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup (page no longer exists)

Update 2/23/17 Documentation moved to: https://www.tensorflow.org/install

Answer 4

Updated 11/28/2016: TensorFlow is now available in PyPI, starting with release 0.12. You can type

pip install tensorflow

...or...

pip install tensorflow-gpu

...to install the CPU-only or GPU-accelerated version of TensorFlow respectively.

Previous answer: TensorFlow is not yet in the PyPI repository, so you have to specify the URL to the appropriate "wheel file" for your operating system and Python version.

The full list of supported configurations is listed on the TensorFlow website, but for example, to install version 0.10 for Python 2.7 on Linux, using CPU only, you would type the following command:

$ pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.10.0rc0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

Answer 5

1. Install python by checking Add Python to Path
2. pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-py3-none-any.whl

This works for windows 10.0

Answer 6

Install Python 3.5.x 64 bit amd version here. Make sure you add Python to your PATH variable. Then open a command prompt and type

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

should give you the following result :

 Collecting pip
 Using cached pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
 Installing collected packages: pip
 Found existing installation: pip 7.1.2
 Uninstalling pip-7.1.2:
 Successfully uninstalled pip-7.1.2
 Successfully installed pip-9.0.1

Now type

 pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
