Installing tensorflow CPU with windows 10 anaconda python 2.7

Question

I am using anaconda, python 2.7, windows 10. I would like to install tensorflow with conda. However, I am having this error:

(tensorflow) C:\Users\cenk>conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow python=2.7
Fetching package metadata ...............
Solving package specifications: .


UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - python 2.7*
  - tensorflow -> protobuf ==3.1.0 -> python 3.4*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

Answer 1

TensorFlow only supports Python 3.5 64-bit on Windows. You need the corresponding Anaconda distribution.

Make sure to create an environment for Python=3.5 as Anaconda recently upgraded their distribution from 3.5 to 3.6 which is also not supported with a pre-build binary yet on Windows (ie you need to build TensorFlow from source to use Python 3.6 on Windows).

As a side note the conda package is not official so I'd recommend using the wheel provided on TensorFlow website . As an alternative you can install with the PYPI packages through pip install tensorflow .

For complete information on TensorFlow installation on Windows please see here .
