TensorFlow not found using pip

Question

I\'m trying to intstall TensorFlow using pip:

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


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. After uninstalling the 32-bit version of python and reinstalling the 64-bit version I tried reinstalling TensorFlow and it worked.

Answer 2

If you are using the Anaconda Python installation, pip install tensorflow will give the error stated above, shown below:

Collecting tensorflow
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tensorflow

According to the TensorFlow installation page, you will need to use the --ignore-installed flag when running pip install.

However, before this can be done see this link to ensure the TF_BINARY_URL variable is set correctly in relation to the desired version of TensorFlow that you wish to install.

Answer 3

There are multiple groups of answers to this question. This answer aims to generalize one group of answers:

There may not be a version of TensorFlow that is compatible with your version of Python. This is particularly true if you're using a new release of Python. For example, there may be a delay between the release of a new version of Python and the release of TensorFlow for that version of Python.

In this case, I believe your options are to: 1) Downgrade to the previous version of Python. 2) Compile TensorFlow from the source code. 3) Wait for a matching version of TensorFlow.

Answer 4

If you run into this issue recently (say, after Python 3.7 release in 2018), most likely this is caused by the lack of Python 3.7 support (yet) from the tensorflow side. Try using Python 3.6 instead if you don't mind. There are some tricks you can find from https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/20444, but use them at your own risk. I used the one harpone suggested - first downloaded the tensorflow wheel for Python 3.6 and then renamed it manually...

cp tensorflow-1.11.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl tensorflow-1.11.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
pip install tensorflow-1.11.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl

The good news is that there is a pull request for 3.7 support already. Hope it will be released soon.

Answer 5

Following these steps allows you to install tensorflow and keras:

1. Download Anaconda3-5.2.0 which comes with python 3.6 from https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/

2. Install Anaconda and open Anaconda Prompt and execute below commands

   conda install jupyter 
   conda install scipy
   pip install sklearn
   pip install msgpack
   pip install pandas
   pip install pandas-datareader
   pip install matplotlib 
   pip install pillow
   pip install requests
   pip install h5py
   pip install tensorflow
   pip install keras
   

Answer 6

1. Start Command Prompt with Administrative Permission
2. Enter following command python -m pip install --upgrade pip
3. Next Enter command pip install tensorflow
