Installing tensorflow with anaconda in windows

Question

I have installed Anaconda on Windows 64 bit. I have downloaded PyCharm for creating a project and in the terminal of PyCharm I have installed numpy, scipy

Answer 1

Google has announced support for tensorflow on Windows. Please follow instructions at https://developers.googleblog.com/2016/11/tensorflow-0-12-adds-support-for-windows.html. Please note CUDA8.0 is needed for GPU installation.

If you have installed the 64-bit version of Python 3.5 (either from Python.org or Anaconda), you can install TensorFlow with a single command: C:> pip install tensorflow

For GPU support, if you have CUDA 8.0 installed, you can install the following package instead: C:> pip install tensorflow-gpu

Answer 2

Google has recently launched a newer version of Tesnsorflow r0.12 which include support of Windows both CPU and GPU version can now be installed using Python >=3.5.2 (only 64-bit) version.

For CPU only version open command prompt and enter follow command

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

Follow this Tensorflow on Windows for step by step instructions.

UPDATE

To install current latest version please run following command:

pip install tensorflow #CPU only
pip install tensorflow-gpu #For GPU support

UPDATE 2020

Tensorflow 2.0 now has a single package for both CPU and GPU version, simply run

pip install tensorflow

If your're using Anaconda you can install Tensorflow GPU version and all of its dependencies (CUDA, cuDNN) by running:

conda install -c tensorflow-gpu

Answer 3

I found a more recent blog post in Anaconda which instructs how to install the TF easily. I used:

conda create -n tensorflow_env tensorflow

Or for the GPU version (Make sure that you have NVIDIA GPU)

conda create -n tensorflow_gpuenv tensorflow-gpu

This way you will have different environments for different TFs.

Answer 4

• Install Anaconda for Python 3.5 - Can install from here for 64 bit windows

• Then install TensorFlow from here

(I tried previously with Anaconda for Python 3.6 but failed even after creating Conda env for Python3.5)

Additionally if you want to run a Jupyter Notebook and use TensorFlow in it. Use following steps.

Change to TensorFlow env:

C: > activate tensorflow
(tensorflow) C: > pip install jupyter notebook

Once installed, you can launch Jupyter Notebook and test

(tensorflow) C: > jupyter notebook

Answer 5

The above steps

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

will work for Windows 10 as well but the Python version should be 3.5 or above. I have used it with Anaconda Python version 3.6 as the protocol buffer format it refers to available on 3.5 or above. Thanks, Sandip

Answer 6

I tried many things but always faced some issue or other. Below steps with specific version only worked for me.

1> Create virtual env

#conda create -n tensorflow pip python=3.5

2> activate env #activate tensorflow #conda info --envs

3> Install tensorflow

#conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

this will install tensorflow 1.10.0

#python -m pip install --upgrade pip
#pip install setuptools==39.1.0

3> Install keras

#pip install keras==2.2.2
