I'm in the process of installing Tensorflow in my Ubuntu 14.10. I've previously installed numpy , scipy , sklearn and also ipython-notebook . I followed the official documentation at Tensorflow.org ( pip installation ).The location of my tensorflow installation directory is /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages . I'm getting following error when I execute import tensorflow as ts
in my Ubuntu terminal.
>>> import tensorflow as tf

ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import
Error importing tensorflow. Unless you are using bazel,
you should not try to import tensorflow from its source directory;
please exit the tensorflow source tree, and relaunch your python interpreter from there.
According to the error, it has to be with numpy. I tried to upgrade numpy using command sudo pip install --upgrade numpy
but this doesn't seem to upgrade my existing numpy version and the problem still remains.
Any suggestions in solving this issue ?
As I mentioned in the description, I had previously installed numpy. For TensorFlow to run properly numpy has to be there. There has been two numpy versions in my machine.
When I typed
>> import numpy
>> print numpy.__version__
I got 1.8.something as my numpy version. According to the threads I read, this one is somewhat old and doesn't agree with Tensorflow, so I tried to upgrade the numpy version via
pip install numpy --upgrade
command. Still I got 1.8.* as my numpy version by executing above commands in python console. What I did next was to locate my numpy in python and removed numpy from there. These are the commands I used to locate and remove numpy.
numpy.__path__ #to locate numpy location/path
Then I exit from python console and executed following in Ubuntu terminal to remove numpy.
sudo rm -rf /path_to_numpy/numpy #this removed numpy 1.8.* version
Then I ran a sudo apt-get update
command and checked the numpy version again and now python console reflected that I'm referring to the newer version of numpy ( 1.11.3 ).
The problem solved.
(I again encountered another issue while installing Tensorflow after successfully solving this issue. In that case I had to upgrade python six package)
Now Tensorflow works well in my Ubuntu 14.10 :)
Thanks for your concern :)
Did you follow the instructions?
please exit the tensorflow source tree, and relaunch your python interpreter from there.
I ran into the same problem on OS X (10.12). Like you, I got caught in a loop where two versions of python didn't match but reinstalling wasn't fixing the mismatch. Eventually, a more thorough removal and reinstallation worked:
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
) virtualenv --system-site-packages ~/tensorflow
) sudo pip install --upgrade tensorflow
)
