使用pip找不到TensorFlow

I’m trying to intstall TensorFlow using pip:

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

What am I doing wrong? So far I’ve used Python and pip with no issues.

I found this to finally work.

python3 -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.12.0-py3-none-any.whl

Edit 1: This was tested on Windows (8, 8.1, 10), Mac and Linux. Change python3 to python according to your configuration. Change py3 to py2 in the url if you are using Python 2.x.

Edit 2: A list of different versions if someone needs: https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow

Edit 3: A list of urls for the available wheel packages is available here: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip#package-location

You need a 64-bit version of Python and in your case are using a 32-bit version. As of now Tensorflow only supports 64-bit versions of Python 3.5.x and 3.6.x on Windows. See the install docs to see what is currently supported

To check which version of Python you are running, type python or python3 to start the interpreter, and then type import struct;print(struct.calcsize("P") * 8) and that will print either 32 or 64 to tell you which bit version of Python you are running.

From comments:

To download a different version of Python for Windows, go to python.org/downloads/windows and scroll down until you see the version you want that ends in a “64”. That will be the 64 bit version that should work with tensorflow

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

Update – Python 3.7

Currently only Python 3.5 and Python 3.6 are supported officially. Tensorflow has not released binaries for Python 3.7 still officially, we might need to wait a little for it to be released. You can use Python 3.6.x alongside or Anaconda with Python<3.7 virtual environment for time being.

From tensorflow website: “You will need pip version 8.1 or later for the following commands to work”. Run this command to upgrade your pip, then try install tensorflow again:

pip install --upgrade pip

If you are trying to install it on a windows machine you need to have a 64-bit version of python 3.5. This is the only way to actually install it. From the website:

TensorFlow supports only 64-bit Python 3.5 on Windows. We have tested the pip packages with the following distributions of Python:

Python 3.5 from Anaconda

Python 3.5 from python.org.

You can download the proper version of python from here (make sure you grab one of the ones that says “Windows x86-64”)

You should now be able to install with pip install tensorflow or python -m pip install tensorflow (make sure that you are using the right pip, from python3, if you have both python2 and python3 installed)

Remember to install Anaconda 3-5.2.0 as the latest version which is 3-5.3.0 have python version 3.7 which is not supported by Tensorflow.

I figured out that TensorFlow 1.12.0 only works with Python version 3.5.2. I had Python 3.7 but that didn’t work. So, I had to downgrade Python and then I could install TensorFlow to make it work.

To downgrade your python version from 3.7 to 3.6

conda install python=3.6.8

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

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

I had the same problem and solved with this:

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

I had the same error when trying to install on my Mac (using Python 2.7). A similar solution to the one I’m giving here also seemed to work for Python 3 on Windows 8.1 according to a different answer on this page by Yash Kumar Verma

Solution

Step 1: go to The URL of the TensorFlow Python package section of the TensorFlow installation page and copy the URL of the relevant link for your Python installation.

Step 2: open a terminal/command prompt and run the following command:
pip install --upgrade [paste copied url link here]

So for me it was the following:
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.2.0-py2-none-any.whl

Update (July 21 2017): I tried this with some others who were running on Windows machines with Python 3.6 and they had to change the line in Step 2 to: python -m pip install [paste copied url link here]

Update (26 July 2018): For Python 3.6.2 (not 3.7 because it’s in 3.6.2 in TF Documentation), you can also use pip3 install --upgrade [paste copied URL here] in Step 2.

Try this, it should work:

 python.exe -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-py3-none-any.whl

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

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

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.

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.

Link to TensorFlow guide: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows

If you’re trying to install tensorflow in anaconda and it isn’t working, then you may need to downgrade python version because only 3.6.x is currently supported while anaconda has the latest version.

1. check python version: python --version

2. if version > 3.6.x then follow step 3, otherwise stop, the problem may be somewhere else

3. conda search python

4. conda install python=3.6.6

5. Check version again: python --version

6. If version is correct, install tensorflow (step 7)

7. pip install tensorflow

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.

Unfortunately my reputation is to low to command underneath @Sujoy answer.

In their docs they claim to support python 3.6. The link provided by @mayur shows that their is indeed only a python3.5 wheel package. This is my try to install tensorflow:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.371]
(c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\>python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in d:\python\v3\lib\site-packages (10.0.0)

C:\>python3 -m pip -V
pip 10.0.0 from D:\Python\V3\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.6)

C:\>python3 -m pip install --upgrade tensorflow
Collecting tensorflow
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tensorflow

while python 3.5 seems to install successfully. I would love to see a python3.6 version since they claim it should also work on python3.6.

Quoted :

"TensorFlow supports Python 3.5.x and 3.6.x on Windows. Note that Python 3 comes with the pip3 package manager, which is the program you'll use to install TensorFlow."

I hope i am terrible wrong here but if not ring a alarm bell 😛

Edit: A couple of posts below someone pointed out that the following command would work and it did.

python3 -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-py3-none-any.whl

Strange pip is not working 🤔

This worked for me with Python 2.7 on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5:

sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl

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.

For windows this worked for me,

Download the wheel from this link. Then from command line navigate to your download folder where the wheel is present and simply type in the following command –

pip install tensorflow-1.0.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

I was facing the same issue. I tried the following and it worked. installing for Mac OS X, anaconda python 2.7

pip uninstall tensorflow export TF_BINARY_URL=<get the correct url from http://tflearn.org/installation/> pip install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

Installed tensorflow-1.0.0

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

The URL to install TensorFlow in Windows, below is the URL. It worked fine for me.

python -m pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-py3-none-any.whl

Nothing here worked for me on Windows 10. Perhaps an updated solution below that did work for me.

python -m pip install --upgrade tensorflow.

This is using Python 3.6 and tensorflow 1.5 on Windows 10

For pyCharm users:

1. Check pip version: pip3 -V
2. If pip is older than 9.0.1: py -3 -m pip install –upgrade pip
3. Then: **py -3 -m pip install –upgrade

https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-py3-none-any.whl**

Following steps allows you to install tensorflow and keras

1. downloading 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

update 2019: for install the preview version of TensorFlow 2 in Google Colab you can use:

!wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/10.0/Prod/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48_1.0-1_amd64 -O cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48_1.0-1_amd64.deb !dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48_1.0-1_amd64.deb !apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48/7fa2af80.pub !apt-get update !apt-get install cuda !pip install tf-nightly-gpu-2.0-preview

and for install the TensorFlow 2 bye pip you can use : pip install tf-nightly-gpu-2.0-preview for GPU and pip install tf-nightly-2.0-preview for CPU.

I had this problem on OSX Sierra 10.12.2. It turns out I had the wrong version of Python installed (I had Python 3.4 but tensorflow pypi packages for OSX are only for python 3.5 and up).

The solution was to install Python 3.6. Here’s what I did to get it working. Note: I used Homebrew to install Python 3.6, you could do the same by using the Python 3.6 installer on python.org

brew uninstall python3
brew install python3
python3 --version # Verify that you see "Python 3.6.0"
pip install tensorflow # With python 3.6 the install succeeds
pip install jupyter # "ipython notebook" didn't work for me until I installed jupyter
ipython notebook # Finally works!

Installing with native pip

If the following version of Python is not installed on your machine, install it now:

Python 3.5.x from python.org TensorFlow only supports version 3.5.x of Python on Windows. Note that Python 3.5.x comes with the pip3 package manager, which is the program you’ll use to install TensorFlow.

To install TensorFlow, start a terminal. Then issue the appropriate pip3 install command in that terminal. To install the CPU-only version of TensorFlow, enter the following command:

C:\> pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
To install the GPU version of TensorFlow, enter the following command:

C:\> pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu
