Importing Bazel Project fails in CLion on macOS

I installed Bazel plugin on my CLion and am trying to import a new Bazel C++ project and I keep hitting into these errors-

tensorflow_gpu-1.8.0lft1-cp27-cp27mu-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

ERROR: error loading package '':

pip_import failed:  (tensorflow_gpu-1.8.0lft1-cp27-cp27mu-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. ).

On googling I found people were having this problem on their linux boxes and the solution was to upgrade pip. I did try

$ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip --version
pip 18.0 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

but to no avail. I am suspecting that it is picking up the wrong .whl file since the name clearly states its for linux_x86_64.

Any ideas?

it reads tensorflow_gpu-1.8.0lft1-cp27-cp27mu-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. -> which means cp27 & linux (obviously the wrong platform).

here would be a wheel file for MacOS: tensorflow-1.10.0-py2-none-any.whl

it is version 1.10.0, but it might suffice to meet the dependency; to be installed alike:

python2 -m pip install tensorflow-1.10.0-py2-none-any.whl

found at Installing TensorFlow on macOS. in case the wheel file in version 1.10.0 should not meet the dependencies, "Plan B" would be to check out from branch 1.10.0, in order to build from source.
