How to fix an error about PATH when installing tensorflow on windows?

Question

I tried to install tensorflow, but I got the following error:

My Command:

pip install tensorflow

The Error I got:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'C:\\Users\\sipha\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0
\\LocalCache\\local-packages\\Python310\\site-packages\\tensorflow\\include
\\external\\com_github_grpc_grpc\\src\\core\\ext\\filters\\client_channel
\\lb_policy\\grpclb\\client_load_reporting_filter.h'

HINT: This error might have occurred since this system does not have
Windows Long Path support enabled. You can find information on how to
enable this at https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/enable-long-paths

anyone know how to make new envirenment?

Answer 1

It seems like Long Path is disabled on your PC. Do the following to enable it, and then try to install Tensorflow.

1. Press the Windows key + R key.
2. Type regedit and press enter.
3. Navigate to the following location Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem in the registry editor(regedit), or you could just paste it in the search bar on top.
4. Find and right click on LongPathsEnabled
5. Set the DWORD value to 1 instead of zero and reboot your computer.

This will enable Long Path support. Then try to install Tensorflow again.

try conda install instead of pip install if you have conda installed

conda install tensorflow==2.6.0
