Cannot install tensorflow on fresh ubuntu partition: tensorflow-0.8.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

Question

I installed pip3 and upgraded it. When trying to install tensorflow, I get the following:

daniel@popeax:~$ sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.8.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl
tensorflow-0.8.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Answer 1

This question is identical to the one I had answered on Ask Ubuntu at https://askubuntu.com/q/778698/15003 :

For now, according to https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/2188#issuecomment-216186066 , the solution is to download and rename the wheel and install using the renamed wheel:

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.8.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl
mv tensorflow-0.8.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl tensorflow-0.8.0-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl
sudo -H pip3 install tensorflow-0.8.0-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl

If you are willing to wait a bit, the wheel for Python 3.5 should be out soon according to https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/2188#issuecomment-220363241 .
