how to install tensorflow on anaconda python 3.6

Question

I installed the new version python 3.6 with the anaconda package. However i am not able to install tensorflow. Always receive the error that

tensorflow_gpu-1.0.0rc2-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

How can I install tensorflow on anaconda (python 3.6)?

Answer 1

UPDATE: TensorFlow supports Python 3.6 on Windows since version 1.2.0 (see the release notes)

---

TensorFlow only supports Python 3.5 64-bit as of now. Support for Python 3.6 is a work in progress and you can track it here as well as chime in the discussion.

The only alternative to use Python 3.6 with TensorFlow on Windows currently is building TF from source.

If you don't want to uninstall your Anaconda distribution for Python 3.6 and install a previous release you can create a conda environment for Python=3.5 as in: conda create --name tensorflow python=3.5 activate tensorflow pip install tensorflow-gpu

This is what I did for Installing Anaconda Python 3.6 version and Tensorflow on Window 10 64bit.And It was success!

1. Download Anaconda Python 3.6 version for Window 64bit.

2. Create a conda environment named tensorflow by invoking the following command:

   C:> conda create -n tensorflow 
   

3. Activate the conda environment by issuing the following command:

   C:> activate tensorflow
   (tensorflow)C:>  # Your prompt should change 
   

4. Download “tensorflow-1.0.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl” from here. (For my case, the file will be located in “C:\Users\Joshua\Downloads” once after downloaded).

5. Install the Tensorflow by using following command:

   (tensorflow)C:>pip install C:\Users\Joshua\Downloads\ tensorflow-1.0.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
   

This is what I got after the installing:

6. Validate installation by entering following command in your Python environment:

   import tensorflow as tf
   hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
   sess = tf.Session()
   print(sess.run(hello))
   

If the output you got is 'Hello, TensorFlow!',that means you have successfully install your Tensorflow.

Simple Way from Scratch.

1. Download Anaconda from https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-5.2.0-Windows-x86_64.exe

2. Install Anaconda by double clicking it.

3. Open anaconda prompt by searching anaconda in windows search and type the following command while being connected to internet.

   A. conda create -n tensorflow_env python=3.6

   B. conda activate tensorflow_env

   C. conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

Step C will take time. After install type python in conda prompt and type

import tensorflow as tf

If no error is found your installation is successful.

Answer 4

According to :https://anaconda.org/intel/tensorflow

To install this package with conda run:

conda install -c intel tensorflow

pip install To install this package with pip:

pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/intel/simple tensorflow

Answer 5

I use this method as told by one of the user: This is what I did for Installing Anaconda Python 3.6 version and Tensorflow on Window 10 64bit.And It was success!

Go to https://www.continuum.io/downloads to download Anaconda Python 3.6 version for Window 64bit. Create a conda environment named tensorflow by invoking the following command:

C:> conda create -n tensorflow Activate the conda environment by issuing the following command:

C:> activate tensorflow (tensorflow)C:> # Your prompt should change Go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/enter code here download “tensorflow-1.0.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl”. (For my case, the file will be located in “C:\Users\Joshua\Downloads” once after downloaded) Install the Tensorflow by using following command:

(tensorflow)C:>pip install C:\Users\Joshua\Downloads\ tensorflow-1.0.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

but nothing happens in the prompt. It starts from the new line with the tensorflow as if nothing was written. Whats the problem?

Answer 6

Try this one.

Python 3.6

pip install https://anaconda.org/intel/tensorflow/1.2.1/download/tensorflow-1.2.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl

Source: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-optimized-tensorflow-wheel-now-available

Answer 7

For Windows 10 with Anaconda 4.4 Python 3.6:

1st step) conda create -n tensorflow python=3.6

2nd step) activate tensorflow

3rd step) pip3 install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.2.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

Answer 8

Uninstall Python 3.7 for Windows, and only install Python 3.6.0 then you will have no problem or receive the error message:

import tensorflow as tf ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow'

Answer 9

conda create -n tensorflow_gpuenv tensorflow-gpu

Or

type the command pip install c:.*.whl in command prompt (cmd).
