TensorFlow on Windows: “pip install tensorflow” fa

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2015, Python 3.5.2, Windows 10, and have recently upgraded pip to 9.0.1. I am trying to install Tensorflow 0.12 on my system. I tried to use VS's built in "Install Python Package" function, as well as command prompting

pip install python

Both ways I get the same error:

Installing 'tensorflow'
Collecting tensorflow
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tensorflow
'tensorflow' failed to install. Exit code: 1`

I don't know what to do from here. Supposedly the pip command was all I had to do so nowhere else has any troubleshooting.

Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2013, 22:01:18) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

Answer 1

Pip does not come with a tensorflow package. You need to add it. You can follow the tensorflow windows install directions.

https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.12/get_started/os_setup.html#pip-installation-on-windows

For the cpu.

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

For the gpu.

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

Answer 2

According to your Python version string, you are running the 32-bit version of the Python interpreter. We have only made PIP packages for the 64-bit version of the Python 3.5, which can be downloaded and installed separately from Python.org or Anaconda.
