Error Installing TENSORFLOW using PIP

Question

When I try to install Tensorflow by typing "pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow" into the C: command prompt line, I get the error: "pip3 is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" (See attached picture)

I have Python 3.6.5 installed on my Windows 7 laptop, so it includes "pip3" needed to install Tensorflow.

Answer 1

Since your computer does have Python 3.6 and it comes with pip , you could try running

python -mpip install tensorflow

If Python isn't found either, run

c:\python36\bin\python -mpip install tensorflow

Answer 2

The problem here is that "pip3" is not recognized as a command. In order for pip to be run from the command line, it needs to be added to your system's PATH.
