Tensorflow import error: No module named 'tensorflow'

Question

I installed TensorFlow on my Windows Python 3.5 Anaconda environment The validation was successful (with a warning)

(tensorflow) C:\\>python

Answer 1

The reason why Python base environment is unable to import Tensorflow is that Anaconda does not store the tensorflow package in the base environment.

create a new separate environment in Anaconda dedicated to TensorFlow as follows:

conda create -n newenvt anaconda python=python_version

replace python_version by your python version

activate the new environment as follows:

activate newenvt

Then install tensorflow into the new environment (newenvt) as follows:

conda install tensorflow

Now you can check it by issuing the following python code and it will work fine.

import tensorflow
