Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow

Question

I installed the latest version of Python (3.6.4 64-bit) and the latest version of PyCharm (2017.3.3 64-bit). Then I installed some modules in PyCha

Tensorflow seems to need special versions of tools and libs. Pip only takes care of python version.

To handle this in a professional way (means it save tremendos time for me and others) you have to set a special environment for each software like this.

An advanced tool for this is conda.

I installed Tensorflow with this commands:

sudo apt install python3

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1

sudo apt install python3-pip

sudo apt-get install curl

curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh > Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

yes

source ~/.bashrc

• installs its own phyton etc

nano .bashrc

• maybe insert here your proxies etc.

conda create --name your_name python=3

conda activate your_name

conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

• check everything went well

python -c "import tensorflow as tf; tf.enable_eager_execution(); print(tf.reduce_sum(tf.random_normal([1000, 1000])))"

PS: some commands that may be helpful conda search tensorflow

https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip

uses virtualenv. Conda is more capable. Miniconda ist sufficient; the full conda is not necessary
