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 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.
