在cygwin上安装tensorflow错误

Question

I am new to linux and try to install tensorflow on cygwin on a windows 7 machine with only CPU following this instruction .

I tried to install with native pip however encountered some errors when running this command:

pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.2.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl

(I omitted sudo since there's no sudo on my cygwin). The error message is:

tensorflow-1.2.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

The python 3 on my cygwin is 3.6.1, pip3 version is 9.0.1.

Here are some basic command result:

$ python3 -V
Python 3.6.1

$ whereis python3
python3: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/lib/python3.6 /usr/include/python3.6m /usr/share/man/man1/python3.1.gz

$ pip3 -V
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/ActiveState Komodo Edit 10:/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Application Virtualization Client:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Pandoc:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/x64:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/PuTTY:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Skype/Phone:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/1E/NomadBranch:/cygdrive/c/Users/jinhuwang/AppData/Local/rodeo/app-2.5.2/bin

I've seem many related question on stackoverflow but got no luck to find the solution to mine. Could anyone help?

From cygwin's frontpage :

Cygwin is not:

• a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
