Error when importing TensorFlow in Python on Windows

Question

I am running Python 2.7.10 and I successfully installed TensorFlow, using pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl .

When I run the python interpreter and attempt to import the tensorflow module, I get the following error:

>>> import tensorflow as tf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\Or\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\User\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\__init__.py", line 4, in <module>

Answer 1

you can use pip to install tensorflow

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

If you are trying to install on windows , you will have to have python3.5 x64 bit and along with that you need to install Visual C++ 2015 redistributable (x64 version) to be able to import tensorflow

Answer 2

Judging by the paths in the output, it looks like you are trying to run TensorFlow on Windows. The package that you have installed is a Mac OS X binary distribution of TensorFlow.

Unfortunately, Windows is not currently supported by TensorFlow , and it is unlikely to be supported before its build system (Bazel) adds Windows support. There is some discussion of progress towards a Windows version on this GitHub issue , and an unsupported contribution that builds TensorFlow using CMake on Windows .
