在已经使用pip安装Tensorflow的情况下从源代码安装Tensorflow

Question

My machine already have Tensorflow 8.0 installed using pip. I installed Tensorflow 9.0 from source to support cudnn 5. The thing is when I "import tensorflow" in python it still uses the pip installation.

Can I tell python to import my new installation and ignore the pip installation?

I want to keep the pip installation, because it is being used by other people (the machine is a server).

Thanks, Dan

Answer 1

You can try one of these (solution 2 is the one I prefer)

1) Install only for your user:

sudo pip install --user /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-0.9.0-py2-none-any.whl

2) Create a virtual environment to isolate it from your system install:

Tensorflow anaconda-installation

3) Add the Tensorflow 9.0 to the sys.path list as in:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'path/to/thensorflow_9')
import tensorflow
...
